The Paschal Triduum, also known as the Easter Triduum, is a three-day celebration of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord. In this video, Fr. Giovanni Zaccaria, a professor of liturgical theology at the Theology Department of Rome’s Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, takes us through the rich symbolism and meaning of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. Fr. Giovanni explains the significance of the washing of the feet and the Chrism oil on Holy Thursday, the commemoration of the Passion on Good Friday, and the joy of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Join us in this journey of faith and reflection as we commemorate the Paschal Triduum.
