Welcome to Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, where we invite you to learn about the significance of Holy Week in our faith community. Holy Week is a momentous time for Christians worldwide, commemorating the final days of Jesus Christ's earthly ministry, his crucifixion, and celebrating his resurrection.
Embracing the Holy Week Traditions
At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we believe in the importance of observing and participating in the various traditions of Holy Week. This special time allows us to reflect on Jesus' sacrifice and deepen our spiritual journey. Join us in experiencing the following:
