Statement from Premier Pillai on Holy Week

Premier Ranj Pillai has issued the following statement:

“Christians in the Yukon and around the world are preparing to observe Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week – the most sacred time in the Christian calendar.

“Throughout this week, Christian communities reflect on the profound meaning of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday – days that commemorate the sacrifice, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and that lie at the heart of Christian faith.

“For those who have observed the Lenten season, I hope this week brings moments of peace, reflection and renewal as Easter approaches.
