Holy Week and Easter at Grace Cathedral
Blog|Ellie Bozmarova
All are welcome to experience the joy of Easter with us. Our special events this week include:
The Office of Tenebrae: Candles are extinguished one at a time during this solemn choral service, until the church is shrouded in darkness.
Good Friday: Walk the labyrinth lit with flickering luminaries while immersing your spirit in a unique soundscape woven by Destiny Muhammad and Joan Tarika Lewis.
Great Vigil: The service begins entirely in darkness, illumined by the kindling of new fire as we await the resurrection of Jesus.
Sky Steps: Walk on clouds as you climb the Great Steps for our Easter services. Sky Steps is an installation by artist Sukey Bryan and is supported by Ghiberti Center for Culture.
Easter Day: Hymns and chants accompanied by the Grace Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys alongside brass and timpani. A fun and festive Easter egg hunt and photo booth will follow.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
