Episcopal Church of the Holy Nativity -
Sundays at 9:30am

We begin our Holy Week journey with the Lord with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem followed by the sudden walk of his Passion according to the Gospel of St. Luke

We begin the Sacred Tridum - the three day/one service that begins with the final mass before Easter in commemoration of our Lord's last supper. We move the Blessed Sacrament out of the church into a place of safety/repose, and we strip the altar/church to its bareness in anticipation of our Lord's death.

We continue our Triduum journey with the remembrance of the greatest love of all, the death and sacrifice of our Lord. With the church stripped bare and service beginning on our knees and priest prostrating, we walk the journey of the cross with our Savior. Communion will be provided from the reserved Sacrament.

The final part of the Triduum, the Easter Vigil is done at sunrise. We begin in the dark with the new Paschal Fire and Candle. We listen to te stories of our roots from the Old Testament. We renew our Baptismal Covenant. After this, we go into the beautifully decorated church and pronounce the Alleluia of the Resurrection as the sun comes in the east window as we celebrate the first mass of Easter.

At 9:30am, the gather for the Sung mass of the Resurrection with incense and trumpets. After, there is a wonderful feast as well as Easter egg hunt for the young among us.
