Definition: Triduum

The big one is the Easter Triduum (literally "three days"), the three days of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter during which the Church celebrates the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. Holy Thursday recalls the celebration of the Jewish passover and the Christian celebration of the Last Supper as well as the washing of the feet, remembering the ministry of service. Good Friday is the anniversary of the death of Jesus. It's the one day each year Eucharist is not celebrated. Emphasis is placed on the Liturgy of the Word with the reading of the Passion and psalms which foretell Jesus' suffering. The Easter Vigil, normally celebrated after sunset on Holy Saturday is the highlight of the Triduum, when the Church begins to celebrate the light of the Resurrection. The Triduum ends Easter Sunday, but the celebration continues on into Eastertime.

Adam and Eve?

Some people say that Adam and Eve weren’t real. Then why is their story in the Bible? How do we know what is real?
