What is Holy Week and why does it matter?

Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week for Christians around the world. This is the high point of the whole year as we remember the death and resurrection of Jesus.
This week covers the whole gamut of human emotion and experience.
We begin Holy Week today with Palm Sunday, when we recall the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. All four gospels tell how Jesus rode into Jerusalem amid great hope and exception. People shouted, "Hosanna!" which means "Save us." At a time of turmoil and uncertainty, the crowds hopes that Jesus would put down the imperial oppressors and restore justice to the land.
