Here we go.  It’s that time of year.  We’ve been going through Lent for almost 7 weeks and that means that HOLY WEEK is almost here.  As soon as I mention the coming of Holy Week (more traditionally known as Pascha Week), there are two responses that might come forth

a) (church people) YES!  It’s Holy Week.  Services every day.  More prayers, more hymns, more readings…MORE CHURCH!  YES!!!

b) (non-church people) Oh no!  It’s Holy Week.  Services every day.  More prayers, more hymns, more readings…MORE CHURCH!  NO!!!

Same event, completely different responses.  Why is that?  Why do some people approach Holy Week like a kid on Christmas, while others approach it like a turkey on Thanksgiving?  How can that be?  How can they be talking about the same thing?
