yes
NO::: a fast means you eat no food...this includes communion waffers, crackers or bread which ever the church uses for communion.
Saturday, then Sunday, then Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday, then Thursday, then back to Friday.If you are thinking of it in "Christian terms", then after Good Friday comes Holy Saturday, and then Easter Sunday.
There is no Mass on Good Friday and the communion distributed that day was consecrated at the Holy Thursday Mass. In pre-Vatican II times it was called the Mass of the Presanctified. There is no Mass until the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Easter Triduum.
On Holy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter, sometimes called "Maundy Thursday." It encompasses Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.A better answer is ....he Easter Triduum begins on Holy Thursday with the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, is continued through Good Friday with the celebration of the passion of the Lord on Holy Saturday, reaches its high point in the Easter vigil, and concludes with evening prayer on Easter Sunday. Hope it helped!
Holy Thursday begins with the Mass of the Lord's Supper in the evening of Thursday of Holy Week, which officially ends Lent and begins the Easter Triduum (the shortest season of the Liturgical year), which then runs through Good Friday and Holy Saturday up to the beginning of the Easter Vigil after dark on Saturday evening. As soon as the Easter fire is lighted, the Holy Triduum ends and Easter begins.
The only day holy communion is not distributed is on Good Friday, the same day there is no mass. The only church on Good Friday is the adoration, which doesn't include communion and isn't counted as mass. It is a "continuation" of the mass on Holy Thursday, which isn't ended until the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.Correction:Communion is distributed on Good Friday using hosts consecrated at the Mass on Holy Thursday. It is not distributed on Holy Saturday until the vigil Mass that evening.
Thursday
The period in the Christian calendar from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday.
For Christians there is an Easter Saturday although it is not as dramatic as Sunday or Friday. Friday is when Jesus died on the cross. Saturday is when Jesus was placed in the tomb and Sunday is when Jesus resurrected and went back to Heaven.
The Easter Triddum.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Catholic AnswerTogether, they are called the Sacred Triduum. Which would begins with the Mass of the Lord's Supper in the evening of Thursday, continues through the Passion on Friday afternoon, and concludes in Jesus rising from the dead at the Easter Vigil which must begin after dark on Holy Saturday and be finished before dawn on Easter morning. The Church views all three services as one so the end of the the Holy Thursday Mass has no dismissal, Good Friday has no greeting or dismissal, and the Vigil begins with the lighting of the Easter Candle but no greeting.
