The Easter Triduum is the Greatest Solemnity of the Church
For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence. The earliest recorded observance of Easter comes from the 2nd century, though it is likely that even the earliest Christians commemorated the Resurrection, which is an integral tenet of the faith.
The Easter Triduum is the greatest solemnity of the Church’s liturgical year and staying at New Norcia over these three days is a wonderful and unforgettable way of being immersed in the great beauty, mystery and splendour of this occasion.
New Norcia is delighted to be able to offer packages including accommodation, meals and participation in the liturgy and other events to our guests.
The monastic liturgy of the hours will also be prayed and is open to our guests.
Times for these will be included in the information booklet.
