Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday (click here for more information). In this "special" week, every day they are called saints.
From Holy Thursday begins the so-called Easter Triduum (Thursday, Friday and Saturday).
On Thursday we celebrate a Mass, but do not dismiss the believers as usual and the wafers are placed in a side altar. Takes place on Friday Stations of the Cross, and the bells are silent, as is the day of Christ's death. On Saturdays there is a special ceremony: the evening, by a holy fire, lit in a place adjacent to the church, the priest lights his candle, and enters into the paschal candle three times in church singing a hymn to Christ. The first time you light the candles to the altar. On the second to the faithful (also equipped with candles) and third lights the church itself and brings about the Mass, at the end of the Mass which officially ends on Holy Thursday just begun.
On Sunday, Mass is celebrated on Easter.
