Innovations In Easter Liturgy Changes Across Catholic Rite
Pope Pius XII ordered a sweeping revision of Easter week rites, the first major overhaul since 1570. English replaces Latin in parts of one service and lay participation is boosted, including communion on Good Friday for the first time since the 12th century. Holy Thursday and Good Friday hours shift to evening to fit the passion narrative and worker attendance. Local churches may still hold additional services such as the three hours devotion.
