Catholics celebrate Holy Week because it is the week of Christ's passion, death and Resurrection. This is the most important event in salvation history and the Church gives it a place of honor in the liturgical year.

Catholics worship every day. Sunday is the Catholic Sabbath. This is because Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday and this is the basis of the Catholic faith. So Sunday is the main day of worship for Catholics.
