Today is the start of the week that the Christian Church calls Holy - it begins with Palm Sunday - a day which recalls the tremendous excitement of the crowds when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey - they greeted him as their King, spreading palm leaves and even their cloaks on the ground under his feet - yet just FIVE days later, these same crowds were calling for the same Jesus to be crucified.
I invite you to join me as together we walk through the days that make up Holy Week .... immerse ourselves in the story and reflect on why the day when a man dies a hideous death, is called Good Friday ?
Then, in the company of the Rt Rev'd Peter Eagles, Bishop of Sodor and Man, I discover what he's thinking about, at the start of this Holy Week - and what this story of betrayal, unfaithfulness, injustice and violence is saying to our modern world.....
Plus there's music too -and a packed notice board with events round the Island during Holy Week, and services on Easter Day - and listen out for details of all the Sunrise Services early on Easter Sunday morning
