The Holy (Palm) week is dedicated to the remembrance of the Lord's solemn Entry into Jerusalem, where He went to suffer and die on the Cross. This event is described by all the Evangelists: Mt. 21, 1 - 11; Mk. 11, 1 - 11; Lk. 19, 29 - 44; Jn. 12, 12 - 19.
This feast is called the Week of willows (branches), Flower-bearing Week, and in Russian also Willow Sunday because of the custom of consecrating palm branches on this day, which are replaced in Russia by willows.
The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary does not always coincide with Great Lent.
