~ Triduum and Easter Sunday ~
- Maundy Thursday is significant for the Last Supper, where Jesus instituted the Eucharist and washed His disciples’ feet, demonstrating humility and service. This day also marks His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and His subsequent arrest.
- Good Friday is the solemn commemoration of Jesus’ passion and crucifixion. Christians reflect on His suffering, sacrifice, and ultimate love for humanity. We observe fasting, prayer, and Stations of the Cross.
- Holy Saturday is a day of quiet mourning, recalling Jesus’ time in the tomb. It is also the night of the Easter Vigil, where believers anticipate the joy of the Resurrection.
- Easter Sunday is the pinnacle of Holy Week, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection and victory over sin and death. It is a day of joy, hope, and renewal, emphasizing the core beliefs of Christianity.
This is a time of deep spiritual reflection, drawing believers closer to their faith through prayer, repentance, and acts of charity. It serves as a powerful reminder of God’s love and the promise of eternal life through Christ.
