The Paschal Triduum
The triduum is a period that begins on Holy Thursday, and ends at the conclusion of Easter Sunday. It encompasses the evening Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil), and Easter Sunday.
The term “triduum” means “three days,” and refers to any three-day observance. Technically, the triduum during Holy Week is known as the “Paschal Triduum.”
