The Easter Triduum: A Ritual Pilgrimage

This book begins with a story of people whose faith in a living God impelled them to gather, pray, remember, and celebrate what was and what is to come. The Easter Triduum, as celebrated today, is a journey that leads from our past beginnings in Jewish history to an understanding of our present celebration. But it doesn't end there. It is a journey of hope, and of investigation into the past with the expectation that these celebrations of faith will make a profound difference in our lives and in the world around us. Come journey through the transforming mysteries and rituals of the Easter Triduum.
