A Triduum is a period of three days of prayer, either preceding some special feast or preparing for some major enterprise. The Easter Triduum, commemorated the three days that Christ lay in the tomb, actually begins with the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening, so Lent ends as that Mass begins, and the Eastern Triduum begins.
