Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday form a three-day observance called the Paschal Triduum. In the liturgical reckoning as in Jewish reckoning, the day begins at sundown. So the observance of the Friday/Saturday/Sunday feast begins as darkness falls on Thursday.

The first service of the Triduum, Maundy Thursday, celebrates Jesus' self-offering and the Church’s participation in it even today: the community where Jesus continues his ministry. Members of the assembly wash one another’s feet according to Jesus’ mandate when, at his Last Supper, he washed the feet of his disciples as a servant might in those days. The Latin word for mandate is mandatum, the root of the word “maundy.”
