Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerDo a lot of praying, going to Church, and practicing their Lenten disciplines, particularly fasting. Passion (Palm) Sunday starts Holy Week, which commemorates Jesus' entrance into Jersualem, the Passion is read at Mass. Sometime during Holy Week, traditionally on Holy Thursday morning, all the priests of the diocese get together with the Bishop and celebrate the Chrism Mass when the Bishop blesses the Oils that will be used throughout the diocese and throughout the coming year.

On Holy (Maundy) Thursday evening, the Mass of the Lord's Supper is celebrated, which commemorates the Lord establishing the Eucharist and the Priesthood.

On Good Friday no Mass is celebrated, but the Passion is read, the Cross is venerated, Intercessions are offered for everyone, and Holy Communion is given.

On Holy Saturday night, the Easter Vigil begins, after dark, when Our Blessed Lord's resurrection is celebrated, new catechumens are brought into the Church, the new first is lighted, it is a wonderful Mass.
