During the Triduum, Christians remember which events?

• A. The Last Supper, Jesus's Death on Good Friday, and His Resurrection
• B. The Creation, The Fall, The Flood
• C. The Baptism of Jesus, The Transfiguration, The Ascension
• D. The Birth of Mary, The Nativity, The Presentation

Answer: (A)

During the Triduum, Christians remember three linked days of Holy Week: the Last Supper, Jesus’ death on the cross, and his Resurrection. It runs from the evening of Holy Thursday through Good Friday and Holy Saturday to Easter Sunday, highlighting Jesus’ final meal with his friends, his suffering and death, and his rising to new life. Holy Thursday focuses on the meal Jesus shared and the gift of the Eucharist; Good Friday recalls the crucifixion and Jesus’ great love for humanity; Easter Sunday celebrates the empty tomb and the victory of life over death. Other options point to events from different parts of the Bible or Jesus’ life that aren’t the focus of these three holy days.
