The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.
The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.
The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:
Holy Thursday is the commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, when he established the sacrament of Holy Communion prior to his arrest and crucifixion. It also commemorates His institution of the priesthood.

Good Friday is the day on which Catholics commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Good Friday is a day of fasting within the Church. Traditionally, there is no Mass and no celebration of the Eucharist on Good Friday.

El Sábado Santo es un día de espera. Habiendo muerto Jesús el viernes, los discípulos quedaron temerosos y fueron a esconderse en un aposento alto por miedo a que también los apresaran a ellos. Nosotros esperamos junto a los Apóstoles en el Cenáculo, mientras el cuerpo de Jesús yace en el sepulcro. Hoy es un día de silencio y oración; entretanto, esperamos el regreso del Señor.
