Holy Week is dedicated to the celebration of the Paschal Mystery, which involves the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This period starts with Palm Sunday and culminates in the Triduum, which includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. During the Triduum, we commemorate the essential mystery of our Christian faith and consider our own participation in this divine mystery.
Lent is a 40-day period that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It is a time for prayer, fasting, and giving to those in need, preparing to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus at Easter.
