 Holy Week ("Il-Ġimgħa Mqaddsa") celebrations start on Palm Sunday ("Ħadd il-Palm"), commemorating Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem.However, celebrations used to start on the Wednesday after Palm Sunday called "l-Erbgħa tat-Tniebri" when all the candles in church used to be switched off except one which symbolised that only Jesus' faith stayed "lit", today celebrations really take off on Maundy Thursday ("Ħamis ix-Xirka"), with the commemoration of the Last Supper ("L-Aħħar Ċena").Traditionally, the faithful pay visits to seven Altars of repose ("Sepulkru"), preferably in different churches.
