Join world-renowned theologian Fr. John Baldovin, S.J., to take an in-depth look at these fascinating liturgical seasons.
Lent, Holy Week, and Easter commemorate the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. A time period of vital importance to Catholics, these 13 weeks are fundamental to the liturgical year. During this time of sacrifice and solemnity, we are called to reflect on the presence of Christ in our lives.
Now, you are invited to join one of the world’s leading liturgical scholars on this fascinating journey into the vital seasons of Lent and Easter. Through 12 engrossing audio lectures, you will discover the history, development, and practices in these holy seasons.
First, you will focus on the history of Lent. You will look at its origins, tracing how we have come to celebrate it as a 40-day season. After examining the practices and spiritual meaning of this season of sacrifice, you will then turn to Palm Sunday and Holy Week, paying special attention to the Triduum. Finally, you will learn about the 50-day season of Easter, including the Sundays of Ascension and Pentecost.
