Holy Monday marks the beginning of Holy Week during which Christians remember the last week in the life of Jesus Christ and his suffering.
On each day of Holy Week church services are held to commemorate Jesus Christ’s road to Golgotha, his suffering and crucifixion. According to the Gospel, on Holy Monday Christ entered the Temple of Jerusalem where he overthrew the tables of the money changers, and cast them and the merchants out of the house of God. Holy Week ends with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
