Easter Vigil Service
2026-04-04 18:00 - 20:00
The Easter Vigil is the primary, “mother of all vigils” celebration of Jesus’s Resurrection, marking the end of Lent and the start of Easter. This ancient, liturgy features four main parts: the Service of Light, Service of Readings, Initiation (Baptism), and Eucharist.

Stations of the Cross
2026-04-03 14:00 - 15:00
The Stations of the Cross, or Way of the Cross, is a 14-step devotion commemorating Jesus Christ’s last day on Earth, from condemnation to burial. Primarily prayed during Lent and on Good Friday, it is a spiritual pilgrimage focusing on meditating upon Christ’s sufferings.

Seven Last Words From The Cross
2026-04-03 13:00 - 14:00
The Seven Last Words are the final, profound phrases spoken by Jesus Christ during his crucifixion on Good Friday, as recorded across the four Gospels. These sayings symbolize his humanity, divinity, and the completion of his ministry through sacrifice.

Veneration of the Cross
2026-04-03 12:00 - 13:00
The earliest description of this ceremony is found in the late fourth century treatise “The Pilgrimage of Egeria.” In this diary she describes the Good Friday ceremonies in Jerusalem. During that service, fragments that were believed to be of the true cross were placed on a table in front of the bishop. The people came forward, bowed toward the table, and kissed the sacred wood. Variations of the ceremony developed throughout Christianity. The custom was restored in the 1979 BCP (p. 281), in which a wooden cross may be brought into the church and placed in the sight of the people. Following this the people may sing the Good Friday anthems and the hymn “Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle” (Hymns 165-166). See Veneration.

Maundy Thursday
2026-04-02 06:00 - 19:00
Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, commemorates Jesus Christ’s Last Supper with his disciples, the institution of the Eucharist (Communion), and the washing of the feet. Held the Thursday before Easter, it marks the start of the Triduum and emphasizes the command to love one another.
