The week before Easter is called Holy Week and culminates the preparation time of Lent. This week begins with Palm Sunday (4/1) and ends on Holy Saturday (4/7). During these days we focus on the events of Jesus' life from His entrance into Jerusalem until His glorious resurrection from the dead. Palm Sunday the first day of Holy Week, commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:9). Because the complete account of the Lord's Passion from Matthew, Mark, or Luke (this year Mark) is read, this Sunday is also called Passion Sunday.
