The Holy Week Starts with Palm sunday(Oshana njayar in malayalam) followed by Maundy Thursday(Pesaha Vyazham in malayalam),Good Friday(Dukha Velli in malayalam),Holy Saturday and ends with Easter Sunday.

In Kerala, on Maundy Thursday , we go for mass, during which the priest washes the feet of parish members and also start the preparations for the Good Friday & Easter. In the evenings, we have appam murikkal, which is celebrated to commemorate the last supper of Jesus.

We make special unleavened bread (which is known as Indri or Pesaha Appam) and Paal (jaggery syrup based dip), in which the appam is dipped for the occasion. The entire family will come together for the appam murikkal. The eldest member will lead the appam murikkal with a short prayer and distribute the appam and paal to all members in the family.

The making of pesaha/indri appam (unleavened bread) is a divine ceremony and is prepared with utmost respect. The palm leaves are made (which we obtain from church on Palm Sunday) in the form of a cross and placed in the appam and paal. This appam is made only on Maundy Thursday. Usually the appam is cut on Maundy Thursday evenings .
