Updated: 8/19/2023

A Triduum is "A period of three days of prayer, either preceding some special feast or preparing for some major enterprise. [It] Commemorates the biblical three days that Christ lay in the tomb." (from Modern Catholic Dictionary by Fr. Hardon, S.J. In the Catholic Church it is used most frequently to refer to the Easter (or Sacred) Triduum, which is composed of the last three days of Holy Week, i.e.: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. The Easter Triduum ends with the lighting of the Easter fire at the beginning of the Easter Vigil after dark on Holy Saturday night.

What are the colors of paschal triduum?

In the contemporary Western Church, the liturgical color of the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening would be white (and, optionally, gold). White/Gold would also be the proper color if the Chrism Mass were offered earlier in the day.The offices (lauds, matins, midday prayers) during the day of Holy Thursday (before the evening Mass) would be violet as during Lent. I don't know what the color would be for night prayer/compline after the evening Mass... I have used violet or white (without further instruction or scruple from the official texts) to close the evening's public adoration with night prayer.For any services held before the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Thursday evening, violet would be worn, as it is still Lent; except for the Chrism Mass in the morning, the color for the White. The vestments for the celebrant at the Mass of the Lord's Supper in the Evening are white. According to the new calendar, since the Second Vatican Council, Lent is over and the Sacred Triduum has begun.
