Questions of Faith: The Holy Triduum explained


(Vatican Radio) What does the term Holy Triduum actually mean? Why is it the high point of our liturgical year? Why do we call the day Our Lord is crucified ‘Good’ Friday? What is Black Saturday? Why can’t we celebrate Mass until Easter Eve? Why are altars in parishes across the world stripped bare? Do you know what the Mother of all Vigils is?

These are just some of the questions sent in by listeners that our very own official from the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Msgr. John Kennedy , answers in this week’s episode of Questions of Faith, as he helps us to navigate the modern world and rediscover what we believe and why we believe. Listen: RealAudioMP3

So if you have any questions, big or small, why not ask the official? You can do this by submitting them to Vatican Radio’s – English Section Facebook page as a post or private message and tuning in each Tuesday to find out the answers to your Questions of Faith.
