Holy Week Traditions Observed Across Mobile
Palm Sunday rites marked the start of Holy Week with palm and olive branches blessed and carried in procession. Tenebrae services follow Wednesday to Friday with the church lights extinguished except for one candle symbolizing Christ the Light of the World. Maundy Thursday features ornate mass and communion. Good Friday omits mass and uses the presanctified rite. The article notes a forthcoming reform: in two years sheriff’s office reports the county will remove much of the fee system, a change long sought by residents.
