Easter Liturgy Times 2012

on Friday, 23 March 2012. Posted in Events, News

Easter Liturgy Times in the Illawarra, Macarthur, Southern Highlands and the South Coast (Shoalhaven)

Holy Week is regarded as the most sacred week in the Church Year. The last three days of the week (Holy Thursday, Good Friday & Holy Saturday) constitute an inner sanctuary known as the Triduum (3 days) - these three services: The Mass of the Lord's Supper (Holy Thursday night), the Solemn Commemoration of the Lord's Passion (Good Friday afternoon) and the Easter Vigil (Holy Saturday night) are celebrated as a single, continuous liturgy. In the early centuries Holy Week was known as the Great Week or Passion Week. Our participation in the Liturgy of Holy Week is both a wonderful privilege, and our Christian responsibility.
