HOLY THURSDAY The TRIDUUM [three holiest days of the year] begins this evening at sundown. This liturgy includes washing of the feet of volunteers by the priest to recall Jesus mandate to us to serve others as He did; the presentation of the Holy Oils blessed and consecrated by the bishop at the Chrism Mass, and the procession of the Holy Eucharist [Blessed Sacrament] to a side chapel to recall Jesus’ procession from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane as we are invited to pray with Him, and the stripping of the Altar as we prepare to the celebration of Christ’s Passion.
