DESCRIPTION:The Holy Week services\, from Palm Sunday to Easter Day\, are 
 quite unlike anything else in the church’s calendar. For once we are not
  spectators: instead we are here to take our part in the events around us.
  We are the people of Israel\, waving our branches of palm and shouting Ho
 sanna to the Son of David. We are the disciples\, eating and drinking at t
 hat solemn and mysterious last supper in the Upper Room. With St Mary and 
 St John\, we watch in shock and despair at the death of Jesus on the Cross
 . And\, with Mary Magdalene\, we see an open tomb and\, singing Alleluia\,
  we run to tell our friends the glorious news of Christ's resurrection.\n\
 nThe week begins with Palm Sunday. We process through the church to symbol
 ise our Lord's entry into Jerusalem. Together with the people of Israel\, 
 we have followed Jesus and been amazed as he has performed his miracles an
 d pulled the crowds. And as he dramatically enters Jerusalem\, on a donkey
 \, we bathe in the sunlight of the superstar and wave our palm branches to
  welcome him.\n\nBut the people who will crucify Jesus on Good Friday are 
 the same people who honour him today. They don't crucify an unknown or a s
 tranger. They crucify a man who has extended to them a love\, a dignity an
 d a majesty. Today they shout\, ‘Hosanna to the king’\, and on Friday 
 they will shout\, ‘we have no king but Caesar’. \n\nWhy? Because we hu
 man beings are fickle\, we change our minds\, we are swayed by others - be
 cause we are made up of a mixture of different people and different feelin
 gs. And because of that thing inside us which makes it so difficult to rec
 eive unrestrained\, unlimited\, boundless and undemanding love.\n\nOur cho
 ral service will include the St John Passion\, set to music by Spain's gre
 at Renaissance composer\, Tomas Luis de Victoria\, and sung by members of 
 the Choir La Vid y La Vida.\n\nTo see 'Holy Week in 3 minutes'\, a video b
