The Easter Tritium

Hannah Clancy 7.1

The first day of the Easter Tritium.

As Christians we celebrate Holy Thursday with mass, where we break the bread and drink the wine.

Holy Thursday

Holy Thursday On Holy Thursday Jesus gathered with his disciples to break bread with them. He said ‘This is my body, which will be given up to you.’ then he took the wine, gave thanks and said, ‘This is my blood take it and drink.’

Jesus took his disciples to the garden of Gethsemane where Jesus prayed to his father, begging him to spare his fate, but was interrupted and betrayed by Judas Iscariot and was arrested and taken before Pontius Pilate.

On Easter Saturday Jesus was taken from the cross and laid in a tomb, where he was laid to rest.

As Christians we celebrate this day by going to the Vigil Mass and watching the Easter fire be lit and occasionally the stations of the

cross. This mass takes place on the evening of Easter Saturday and the early hours of Easter Sunday.

Easter Saturday

Easter Sunday On Easter Sunday many people including Catholics eat Easter

eggs, the most common symbol of new life. Also many Catholics go to Sunday mass with family.
