DESCRIPTION:Maundy Thursday Agape Dinner (catered) is at 6pm. \nMaundy Thu
 rsday Liturgy is at 7:30pm\nThe Watch at the Blessed Sacrament is from 9pm
  until midnight.\nAbout the Easter Triduum\n\n\nThe Easter Triduum (TRIH-d
 joo-um)\, the Great Three Days\, includes Maundy Thursday\, Good Friday\, 
 and Easter\, and is celebrated as a three-part liturgy. Lent has ended. We
  begin the celebration of the Passover of the Lord from death to life. Dur
 ing these Three Days Christians still reckon time according to the customs
  of the Jewish people. \n\n\nMaundy Thursday is the first of the great li
 turgies of the Easter Triduum. On Maundy Thursday\, a number of ancient ri
 tes are observed during the Celebration of the Lord’s Supper\, including
  the washing of feet.  Bread and wine are consecrated for the ministratio
 n of Holy Communion\, both for Maundy Thursday and for the Good Friday Lit
 urgy. At the end of the service\, the Eucharist is reposed at the Bolton A
 ltar\, the High Altar is washed with wine and water\, the sanctuary is str
 ipped of all ornament and furnishing\, and the cross is veiled.  \n\n\nOn
  Good Friday\, we celebrate the second of the great liturgies of the Easte
 r Triduum\, the Celebration of the Passion of the Lord. Following the Litu
 rgy of the Word and the Passion Narrative from Saint John\, the Church off
 ers its prayers in a form used by the ancient Church\, a form now used onl
 y on Good Friday. Then at the Showing of the Cross we are invited to kneel
  or sit for a period of reflection and prayer. Finally we receive Holy Com
 munion from the Sacrament consecrated at the Celebration of the Lord’s S
 upper. \n\n\nThe Great Vigil of Easter\, celebrated on Saturday night\, i
 s the final part of a service which began on Maundy Thursday. It begins in
  an Upper Room. It ends at a tomb wherein Christ rises from the dead.  In
  the dark we await the light that proclaims the resurrection. Then we shar
 e that light\, hear the great prophecies about Christ\, renew our Baptisma
 l vows\, and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord in word\, song\, and a
 t our Lord’s Table. The ceremonies of this night are about death and lif
 e\, about an old Adam and a new Adam\, about an apple\, about bees\, and a
 bout the smell of blood\, both at death and at birth.  The central Christ
 ian belief is that Jesus was crucified and he rose from the dead.  In the
  liturgical tradition of the Church this is not a past or an abstract real
 ity.  The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is remembered and made p
 resent in our worship and in our common life.  “Jesus Christ\, yesterda
 y and today\, the Beginning and End\, Alpha and Omega.  His are all times
  and ages.  To him be glory and dominion through all eternity.”  \n\n
