Easter Sunday is one of the most festive of days of churches. Easter commemorates Jesus rising from the dead. Services often include extra music as well as flowers and other decorations around the church. On Easter Sunday, many churches celebrate by offering additional services, including a sunrise Easter service.

Collect

Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may, by your life-giving Spirit, be delivered from sin and raised from death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP, 2019)

If you would like nursery care during the Easter Vigil on Saturday, please RSVP to Tara Pedersen.

On Holy Saturday, we are called to remember Jesus’ three days in the tomb. Often, churches start the service outside with a fire. The service will continue in the Sanctuary symbolizing bringing light into the darkness. The Bible readings re-tell the story of God’s love and salvation through all human history (starting with creation). During the service, joyous music and proclaiming “Alleluia” celebrates the end of the season of Lent.

Many churches include a Baptism during the Easter Eve (Vigil) service. In the early church, new Christians spent the season of Lent preparing to be received into the Church as followers of Jesus.

Collect

O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP, 2019)

AND

O God, you made this most holy night to shine with the glory of the Lord’s resurrection: Stir up in your Church that Spirit of adoption which is given to us in Baptism, that we, being renewed both in body and mind, may worship you in sincerity and truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP, 2019)

On Good Friday, we remember Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross. Many churches may mark the hours of the day through the Stations of the Cross, a Tenebrae service, or reading the Passion Readings.

Liturgy of the Passion

Like on Palm Sunday, churches may read the Passion Narrative as a dramatic reading combined with prayer and music.

Collect

Almighty God, we beseech you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the Cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (BCP, 2019)

Maundy Thursday relives Christ’s last supper, washing his disciples’ feet, and his final words. The service will usually include silent reflection as the altar is stripped bare of all linens and articles (and sometimes the cross is covered). The lights are typically dimmed or turned completely off in preparation for the next service (Good Friday).

 The washing of feet allowed Jesus to display His humility and His servanthood.  For some, “washing feet” sounds weird and vulnerable, but give it a chance. It is beautiful and deeply moving.

 Collect

Almighty Father, whose most dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it in thankful remembrance of Jesus Christ our Savior, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (BCP, 2019)

On Good Friday, we remember Jesus’ suffering and death on a cross. Many churches may mark the hours of the day through the Stations of the Cross, a Tenebrae service, or reading the Passion Readings.

Tenebrae

Tenebrae is Latin for “shadows.” A Tenebrae service is somber and will include candles gradually being extinguished as the last words of Jesus before his death are read from the Bible.

Stations of the Cross or The Way of the Cross

Many churches set up stations with art, scripture, and even re-enactments of what happened to Jesus as he was betrayed and buried. This could involve up to 14 depictions of Christ’s suffering and death. Depending on the event, many are made for children to participate in with hands-on activities. Other events are intended for quiet, individual reflection at each station. (All Saints’ offers a family-friendly version on Saturday titled “The Road to Resurrection.”)

Liturgy of the Passion

Like on Palm Sunday, churches may read the Passion Narrative as a dramatic reading combined with prayer and music.

Collect

Almighty God, we beseech you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the Cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
