I am trying to become as familiar with The Passion as possible. I understand it begins with the riding of the donkey into the gates and the palms laid down. There is an “abandonment at the greatest hour of need.” What is that? I am doing this with the Divine mercy Chaplet. When does this time end? Is it with his death or the resurrection?

There also is “Divine mercy Sunday”. Is the Saturday vigil acceptable for this feast day?

I have always considered Christ’s passion as beginning with the Agony in the Garden and ending with His death on the cross.

That’s what I was thinking the agony in the Garden. Then I read it started with the entry into the city.
 
Not quite totally sure about everything so I’m gonna keep my thoughts and opinions to myself, however I will say that YES, the Saturday vigil counts for Divine Mercy Sunday. In fact Pope St. John Paul II died just after having celebrated the Mass on the Saturday Vigil for Divine Mercy. What an amazing way to go!!! I certainly hope that God grants me such an amazing and wonderful death as to die momentarily after having celebrated Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday (even if its the Sat. vigil) just hopefully not this Divine Mercy Sunday! LoL, make it like 60-65 years from now Lord!!!

Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week but I believe the actual passion began at the Last Supper; that is when “events” began.
