Easter Triduum (or Paschal Triduum) is a term used by some Christian churches, particularly the Roman Catholic Church, to denote, collectively, the last three days before Easter Sunday. The term was first used for this purpose at the Second Vatican Council, whose revised liturgical calendar set the final three days of Holy Week apart from Lent proper.

“I realize what I am going up against but I will confront my fate with my head high, with my back straight and the interior strength of one who is certain about his faith.” — Magdi Christian Allam. Some voices in Europe and other places are presently criticizing the pope for his high profile baptism of Magdi Allam at the Easter Vigil.

Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, St. Louis, MO I was born on Holy Saturday, April 16, 1927, in Marktl am Inn. the fact that my day of birth was the last day of Holy Week and the eve of Easter has always been noted in our family history.

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended, that we to judge thee have in hate pretended? By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted! Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee! ‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee; I crucified thee.

On the seventh day God rested in the darkness of the tomb, Having finished on the sixth day all his work of joy and doom; Now the Word has fallen silent, and the water had run dry, The bread had all been broken, and the slight had left the sky; The flock had lost its shepherd, and the seed was sadly sown, The courtiers had betrayed their king, and nailed him to his throne.
