Dear Parents,
Holy week is a very sacred time for all Christians. It is a time for us to reflect on the Passion of our Lord, Jesus Christ. All of our sacrifices are about to come to an end with the major sacrifice made by Jesus because of His great love for us, “
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
The Triduum is the liturgical season that begins on the evening of Holy Thursday and ends on the evening of Easter Sunday. It stems from the Latin roots of “three days”. This time is called "the triduum of the crucified, buried and risen". It is the culmination of the entire lutirgical year,
"To reestablish all things in Christ, both those in the heavens and those on the earth" (Eph. 11:10)
.
