The Triduum
Triduum — the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before Easter — is a single liturgical prayer but one that is prayed over these three days. This is the Paschal mystery, the living story of redemption, the most solemn and powerful moment of the church year.
The Easter Vigil celebration must begin after sunset.
Easter is not a single day, but a holy season, 50 days. The Paschal candle remains in a prominent place and is lighted at all liturgies -- Jesus, the light of the world is risen! Each Sunday we are sprinkled and renew our baptismal promises.
