The Character of the Lenten Season, the Sacred Paschal Triduum, & the Easter SeasonThis period of the Church’s calendar is made up of 96 days – Ash Wednesday and the three days that follow it; the 40 days of Lent concluding on the morning of Holy Thursday; the Sacred Paschal Triduum beginning Holy Thursday evening and concluding with Evening Prayer on Easter Sunday evening; and the Great 50 Days of Easter, which also begin on Easter Sunday and culminate on Pentecost. More than a quarter of the year is devoted to the commemoration and celebration of these events, which won for us so a great a salvation. |
