Страстная неделя, or Passion Week, is the final week of Великого поста in the Christian calendar, leading up to Пасха. It commemorates the events of the last days of Иисус Христос on Earth, including his suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection. Each day of the week has specific religious observances and readings that reflect on these significant events. During Страстная неделя, many Christians participate in special services and rituals. Великая пятница is particularly solemn, marking the crucifixion of Иисус. The week culminates in Воскресение Христово, celebrating the resurrection and victory over sin and death, which is central to Christian faith.
