Easter Triduum, Holy Triduum, or Paschal Triduum is a term used by some Christian churches, particularly the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, and many Anglicans, to denote, collectively, the three days from the evening of Holy Thursday (or Maundy Thursday) to the evening of Easter Sunday. The Triduum begins with the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper (or, where this is not celebrated, Vespers of Holy Thursday) and ends after Vespers at sunset on Easter Day.

The term was used at the Second Vatican Council, when the revised liturgical calendar set the final part of Holy Week apart from Lent proper. Previously, these three days had already gained distinction from the rest of Holy Week with an observance of silence, which were also known as "the still days." [1] During Mass, music was not to be played and all church bells were silenced. People were also encouraged to observe silence in their homes during this time.

Prior to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, weddings were prohibited throughout the entire season of Lent and during certain other periods as well.[2] Today, such celebrations are prohibited only during the Triduum and a few other solemnities. Lutherans still discourage weddings during the entirety of Holy Week and Triduum.

The tradition of silence and lack of music is continued in Vatican II practice.

The Saint Boniface 'Triduum'
We're now in what I call the 'Saint Boniface Triduum,' as a result of a liturgical oddity that I find amusing, and so will any other liturgy- and canon-law geeks. We start with the following norms: 1. The observance of a parish's patron ...

Easter Triduum, Then and Now
... maybe dying-so-as-to-rise-with Christ is not about spiritual prettiness at all...maybe, just maybe, it's a little bit more. Maybe it's about saying with finality, "not MY will." Triduum now may not be so much of a loss as I thought.

Triduum Memories 2008
