Holy Week is a time of fasting and prayer. It is also a good week offer up our suffering for the souls in purgatory. Holy Thursday is the end of Lent and the beginning of Tridiuum which is a three day celebration of Jesus' Passion. It is also the day the first Mass was said and Jesus washed the feet of his Disciples. On this day churches clear their altars because the next day is Good Friday. Good Friday is the day we remember our Lord's sacrifice on the cross. It is also a day of fasting which means that you can have one full meal and two smaller meals. On this day there is no Mass but there is a communion service. The next day is Holy Saturday in which we go to the Easter Vigil and watch the R.C.I.A members come into the Catholic Church. The Easter Vigil also has nine readings that take you through salvation history. And finally Easter Sunday the most important day of the year. The day we celebrate Jesus' Resurrection.
