TORONTO – It is the start of “Holy Week” for traditionalist Christians and Catholics. It is a powerful ritual. As I recall the significance of the week, it is a time of reflection on the meanings of events leading up to the last moments of the temporal life of Christ prior to His Crucifixion, Burial and Resurrection. All for the betterment of the human condition.
