The Holy Week Book found below was part of a series called "Liturgy for Lay Folk," published at the turn of the twentieth century, with an introduction by the renowned English priest and liturgical author, Adrian Fortescue.  That introduction, entitled "The Rite of Holy Week," is posted here as a separate PDF to make it more accessible for the faithful, who will be greatly enriched by deepening their knowledge of these historical and symbolic rites, which can only lead to a more contemplative and fruitful participation at these sacred liturgies.
