Holy Week is a season to recall the events surrounding the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper, where Christ lays out the model for the Eucharist or Holy Communion. On the other hand, Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus and his subsequent death through Stations of the Cross, and other commemorations of the Passion.
Radio Veritas 846 is owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Manila and is a member of the KBP. Established in 1969, the Ramon Magsaysay Award recipient Catholic radio station continues to be the leading social communications ministry for truth and new evangelization in the country today.
