Easter is a joke.
I guess I should explain that. The Triduum is a single celebration in three acts. We have arrived at act three in the drama of redemption. In the first act on Maundy Thrusday, we witnessed the institution of the Holy Eucharist, that joyful and boisterous multidirectional celebration which connects human to God, God to human, present to past and future, the ordinary to the sacred. The first act of the drama of redemption had such promise.
