Holy Week is an incredible experience. From Palm Sunday, with its joyous procession, to Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, people come together again and again to celebrate the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

On the eve of his passion and death, Jesus wanted to gather his Apostles around him once again to entrust his last instructions to them.

So, while they are eating, Jesus rises from the table and begins to wash the disciples' feet.

Also during the Supper, knowing that his hour had now come, Jesus blesses and breaks the bread, then gives it to the Apostles saying: "This is my body"; he does the same with the cup: "This is my blood". And he commands them: "Do this in remembrance of me".

In Bakhdida big mass is held at the church of immaculate to commemorate what Jesus did with his disciples. It starts as an ordinary mass but includes a dramatic ritual of the washing and kissing the feet of twelve children.
