Holy Week to the Christian Church is a very sacred time of the year, commemorating and remembering the last week of Jesus' life on earth. The Lenten season of sacrifice and self-denial is about to come to an end, and the coming days focus on the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus and the events that led up to it.
As early as the fourth century, the Church has celebrated this most "Holy Week" with a feeling of profound sanctity.
The Triduum, also known as the Paschal or Easter Triduum, is the three-day period of prayer recalling the three days that Christ spent in the tomb, from Good Friday until Easter Sunday. It begins with the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday and continues until Easter Sunday and is regarded as the "summit of the Liturgical Year".
Below, you will find further information, prayers and reflections to guide you through this most Holiest of Weeks.
