The Holy Triduum: Good Friday
The three days before Easter—Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday—are known as the Holy Triduum. During this time, our worship is experienced as one drama that unfolds in three acts, seamlessly recalling the suffering, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Good Friday liturgy marks the day of Christ's suffering, crucifixion, and death and is a continuation of the Maundy Thursday rite. We begin the service in silence as we ended on Maundy Thursday. At the conclusion of the liturgy you are asked to leave in silence or remain in quiet devotion. The Eucharist will not be celebrated on this day.
