Roman Catholic AnswerThe Triduum is the three day stretch from Holy Thursday evening until the Vigil Mass of Easter on Saturday after nightfall. The Holy Thursday Mass commemorates the Last Supper, usually the priest will wash the feet of 12 men as Our Blessed Lord washed the feet of the Apostles. On Good Friday, the Way of the Cross is usually celebrated, and the special Good Friday Liturgy is celebrated. The three hours from noon until 3 pm are observed individually with silent solemnity as we remember Our Blessed Lord suffering on the cross. Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence (no meat, and only one full meal may be taken-the fast is suggested to continue through Holy Saturday until after the Easter Vigil). Holy Saturday is a solemn, silent day with no official liturgy, our Blessed Lord is in the tomb, in the earth.

We celebrate this by going to mass reacting out the last supper and getting our feet washed by the parish priest.
