The Triduum

Insert Liturgical Connection Title Here

Lesson Overview

Triduum is the shortest liturgical season in the Church year. It comprises three days from the evening of Holy
Thursday through the evening of Easter Sunday. During this time, we remember and celebrate the very events of our salvation: Christ’s Last Supper and Institution of the Eucharist and the ordained priesthood, and His Passion,
Death, and Resurrection. In this lesson, students will learn about Triduum and reflect on the Last Supper with
sacred art and Scripture.
