Pulpit Crucifix: Canterbury Cathedral
The last three days of Holy Week are called the Sacred Triduum, the three holy days.
We can look at this period from three perspectives:
These days bring to a climax and conclusion our preparation for Easter.
The season of Lent has pointed us in this direction.
Now we enter the Holy of Holies so to speak - where Christ our great high priest offers himself on the cross for sinful humanity.
These three days are already a part of Easter; for there is an inseparable union between the death of Christ and his resurrection. The two together constitute the Paschal Mystery.
