	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Easter
		Easter was celebrated in Rome and Alexandria on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, and the Roman Church claimed for this observance the authority of Sts.
		This Easter laughter, giving rise to grave abuses of the word of God, was prohibited by Clement X (1670-1676) and in the eighteenth century by Maximilian III and the bishops of Bavaria (Wagner, De Risu Paschali, Königsberg, 1705; Linsemeier, Predigt in Deutschland, Munich, 1886).
		The Church adopted the observance into the Easter ceremonies, referring it to the fiery column in the desert and to the Resurrection of Christ; the new fire on Holy Saturday is drawn from flint, symbolizing the Resurrection of the Light of the World from the tomb closed by a stone (Missale Rom.).

	Three Holy Days: The Triduum
		The Easter Triduum begins with the mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday; it reaches its high point in the Easter Vigil, celebrated on Saturday night.
		There are practices we experience during the Triduum that we see at no other time during the year: the washing of the feet, the veneration of the cross, the service of light, the singing of the Exultet, the baptism of the elect, the reception of the candidates into full membership in the Catholic Church.
		To experience the fullness of the Triduum is to be present for the mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday, the service on Good Friday, and either the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday evening or mass on Easter Sunday morning.

	Easter Triduum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Easter Triduum (or Paschal Triduum) is a term used by some Christian churches, particularly the Roman Catholic Church, to denote, collectively, the three days from the evening of Holy Thursday (or Maundy Thursday) to the evening of Easter Sunday.
		The Triduum begins with the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper (or, where this is not celebrated, Vespers of Holy Thursday) and ends after Vespers of Easter Day.
		The term was first used for this purpose at the Second Vatican Council, whose revised liturgical calendar set the final part of Holy Week apart from Lent proper.

	05/05/2005: A second Easter Triduum
		During the second “Easter Triduum,” on the final weekend of April, I was privileged to participate in the installation of Pope Benedict XVI as our new chief shepherd and successor of St. Peter.
		I regard that experience as a second “Easter Triduum” because the church was not only celebrating at that time the beginnings of the new ministry of Pope Benedict but was also still mourning the death of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II.
		The second “Easter Triduum” of 2005 was quickly ending and my return home was all the better for what I had experienced in the dying and the rising of Christ among His people once again.

		Such Masses imply the Triduum has already begun, yet it is "with the celebration of Mass on the evening of Holy Thursday (emphasis added) the Church begins the Easter Triduum."
