From early times Christians have observed the week before Easter as a time of special devotion. As the pilgrim Egeria recorded in the late fourth century, Jerusalem contained many sacred places that were sites for devotion and liturgy. Numerous pilgrims to the holy city followed the path of Jesus in his last days. They formed processions, worshipped where Christ suffered and died, and venerated relics. From this beginning evolved the rites Episcopal Churches observe today on PALM SUNDAY, MAUNDY  THURSDAY, GOOD FRIDAY, THE GREAT VIGIL of EASTER and EASTER SUNDAY. These services provide a liturgical experience of the last days of Jesus' earthly life, as well as the time and events leading up to his resurrection. 

Holy Week April 10th to April 17th prayers, readings, lessons, preaching, music
