Holy Week is celebrated among many different cultures and religions. However, if we look for temple patterns within Latter Day Saint theology and study the Savior's last week of His life, we find ourselves in the Holy Week's, Holy of Holies. Every pattern, every part of His redemptive work points us then and now to the crowning work done in temples around the world in these latter days. In this episode we look at the reasons for Solemn Assemblies, the temple patterns contained within Holy Week, and the roles we play in this the last dispensation to become saviors on Mount Zion.
