Celebrating Easter and the reason for the season

First, let me tender apologies for a long absence.  I have been ill for quite a long time.  I am improving but stamina is an issue. I am having more good days than bad days - so it means that I am unable to do all that I am used to doing.  Now that Easter is here, I hope I can become more enduring and reliable.  The post below comes from my own spiritual blog, Desert.

We have been on pilgrimage for the last six weeks.
A pilgrimage of penitence and remembrance. 
Now the climax is upon us -
The Blessed Triduum or The Great Three Days.

It began last night as we remmembered
and partially re-enacted
which he celebrated with is friends. 

The photos below were taken by my friend, Ian Hall.
