The Triduum (Ordinary Form) at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. - Part I

This magnificent neo-Gothic redoubt of the Order of Preachers near the campus of the Catholic University of America is also blessed with an impressive liturgical tradition, one that extends beyond the Triduum to other events, such as their famous All Saints' Day Vigil Service and Procession. I have encountered a massive collection of photos of their Holy Week liturgies up on flickr.com, but for reasons of space and internet speed will only post a few. I heartily encourage our readers to study them in great detail. More forthcoming.

SPY WEDNESDAY - TENEBRAE





HOLY THURSDAY - EVENING MASS OF THE LORD'S SUPPER





GOOD FRIDAY - SOLEMN LITURGY OF THE PASSION
