The term Triduum means "three days." The three days are counted as the Hebrews counted their days, from dusk to dusk. Therefore, the three days of the Easter Triduum are from dusk on Holy Thursday to dusk on Good Friday (day one), dusk on Good Friday to dusk on Holy Saturday (day two), and dusk on Holy Saturday to dusk on Easter Sunday (day three). Each of those days "tells" a different part of the story of Jesus' saving action. On Holy Thursday we remember the Last Supper. Jesus gives us the Eucharist and tells us to "Do this in memory of me." He then washes the feet of the apostles. On Good Friday we remember the passion and death of Jesus. We celebrate the resurrection of Christ either at the Easter Vigil on Saturday night when new members are baptized and welcomed into our Catholic community or on Easter Sunday morning.
We look at the Easter Triduum as one single celebration that lasts for three days. We cannot separate the death of Jesus from his resurrection. We do not spend all of the three days in church, but at various times during those days, we are called to church to gather and remember together. When we are not in church, we are asked to keep the spirit of those days even in our homes, if possible. Those days are not days of "business as usual."
To symbolize it you can use anything that comes in three, but makes one (a three-leaf clover for example), but there isn't an "official" symbol that I can think of at the moment.

Easter Triduum Symbols

AMDG gave a wonderful explaination of the triduum. I think a symbol of the Truduum would be something like a host and chalice, a cross, a crown of thorns, something to do with what happened on those three days.
God bless,

Trduum is three days set for worship. The most noted one is Easter. There is a Wkipedia article on it. It mentions the Changing of the colour of the vestments. Other than that I don't know.

this site uses the three crosses and the white lilly:
