Question: When Is Holy Thursday?
Holy Thursday, the first day of the Triduum, the commemoration of Christ's Passion, falls on a different date each year. When is Holy Thursday?
Answer: Holy Thursday, the day on which Christians commemorate Christ's Last Supper and the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion, always falls three days before Easter Sunday, but because it is dependent on the date of Easter, and Easter is a moveable feast, the date of Holy Thursday changes each year.
