Triduum

The Triduum is about three main celebrations that happen during Easter. The first celebration is the Lord's supper where Jesus broke the bread and blessed it and said to his disciples "This my body which will be given up for you, do this in memory of me". Then he took the challis filled up with wine and blessed it and said " this my blood which be poured for you and for many, do this in memory of me.

The Second celebration is the crucifixion of Jesus. He was given a large ugly heavy cross to carry to Calvary. Jesus was stripped of his clothes and women mourn for ages. He arrived at Calvary and was whipped more. They held him down and nailed his feet and hands to the cross. After six hours Jesus died and was laid in a tomb.


The third celebration, Mary (Jesus' mother) and one other woman went to see Jesus in the tomb. As they entered the tomb they realised Jesus wasn't there. They exit the tomb and they saw a man dressed in fine wearing he said " he is not here, he has risen" So Mary and the other woman ran into town and told the good news.
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for Jesus Christ our risen lord for dying for our sins Amen.
