The Easter Triduum

Welcome to this fortnight's edition of LITed: Liturgical Education News. 
We begin to prepare for the high point of our liturgical calendar: the Easter Triduum. In this edition of LITed we revisit the fictional parish liturgy team of St Withaburga's, we pause to reflect on the beauty of the Easter liturgy and we ask, 'what makes this week holy?' We also have our usual recommended resources and article links.
​Happy Easter everyone!

Don't Mention the Triduum!

We revisit the (fictional) Parish of St Withburga's Liturgy Preparation Team as they prepare for the Easter Triduum.  They enthusiastically prepare for the washing of the feet! 

Understanding the Easter Triduum

As we prepare the Easter Liturgy, there is sometimes a temptation to be overly creative. We need to allow for the beauty of the Liturgy to speak for itself. 

Why is this week called 'holy'?

As we look towards Palm Sunday and beyond to Easter, we reflect on why this week is called, 'Holy'. Discover what the Stations of the Cross look like in Jerusalem. 
“In the days ahead, you will either be
a mystic (one who has experienced God for real)
or nothing at all.”

Understanding Easter

The Paschal Mystery is just that - an experience of the Divine beyond comprehension. For over 2000 years  wise people have attempted to discern God's call for us throughout the events of Jesus' death and resurrection. This film from the conservative Augustine Institute in the US is a reasonable, 5 minute theological overview of the Easter Mystery. 

​Too heavy? Try the latest video from Igniter Media, 'The Greatest'. A beautiful film that reflects on John 3:16 - The Greatest Promise.
