Holy Week is the final days before one of the most important Christian holidays—Easter. Each of them has its own content, texts, and traditions.
In the documentary project, Andrey Merzlikin, together with historians and biblical scholars, examines in sequence all the days of this week, from Holy Monday to Holy Saturday. What lies behind the Gospel readings in church? How does the structure of the service change? How were these days perceived in different eras, and what folk traditions are associated with this time? The Series is divided into six episodes, each devoted to one day of Holy Week.
