I am delighted that the services for the Triduum are included in the pew edition of Evangelical Lutheran Worship, 258-275.
December 25th actually represents the end of the three-day period or triduum of the winter solstice, which begins at midnight on December 21st or the morning of December 22nd and ends at midnight on December 24th - "Christmas Eve" - or the morning of December 25th.
Despite my admiration for the author's command of medieval theology, and the precision with which she explains complex debates between Franciscans and Dominicans on, for example, the nature of Christ's blood during the triduum mortis (the three-day period before the resurrection), I wonder whether a more situated approach to the question of blood might not have sharpened rather than diluted her analysis.
