Mystagogia

"Mystagogia" is a strange word that is gradually returning to the Christian vocabulary. It means "going deeper into the mysteries" - that is, into the truths of the faith. Mystagogia describes the ancient custom of spending the first week of Easter with the newly baptized, helping them experience the depths of the truths they had accepted in their Baptism, Confirmation and first Eucharist.

The Easter season is a time of "mystagogia" for everyone - new Christians and old Christians.

*Sometimes referred to as Mystagogy
