The three days before Easter Sunday are known as the Triduum (latin-"three days") and make up some of the most somber and yet significant days on the Church Calendar.
They commemorate Jesus' last days before his Death and Resurrection.
Holy Thursday/Maundy Thursday marks his last meal with his disciples, a Jewish Passover Meal (Passover in the Jewish tradition began on March 22nd and will continue until the 30th).
Good Friday marks the day of his death and Christian across the world will look to the cross and the salvation story of Jesus.
Holy Saturday marks the time Jesus laid in the tomb prior to Easter when the tomb would no longer hold him.
In the Christian tradition, we live the Christian message of life, death and resurrection with Jesus and our communities of faith during Holy Week.
I use my Chromebook during this time like I do most weeks, I use online resources for growing in my faith. There are numerous online offerings for celebrating Holy Week, below are some that I have collected:

The Upper Room (devotional)

May this be a fruitful Holy Week for you.
