Is Holy Thursday a holy day of obligation?

I live in Canada!

Thanks everyone for your responses

What about Good Friday?

Asking because my back hurts and I don’t want to hurt it more before the day of Confirmation!

Neither Holy Thursday nor Good Friday are holy days of obligation.

O and if your back hurts then even on a holy day of obligation or on a Sunday you don’t have to go to Mass.

Neither day is a holy day of obligation in either Canada nor the United States. But the Triduum is ideally experienced for what it is: one big long liturgy broken into several days.

Obviously if you are not well, you need to decide what’s best.

That would be a neat trick!

Catholics are obliged to assist at Mass on a Holy Days of Obligation, yet there is no Mass to assist at on Good Friday!

As you know by now, it wasn’t. But after just having experienced the most awesome, most beautiful Mass I have ever been to as a new Catholic, I would have found a way to go no matter what hurt or how much it hurt. :bowdown:

Honestly, I’m sorry you missed it. Do yourself a favor and make sure you go next year. I guarantee you will love it!
In His love,
