Our Holy Week liturgies come from the pilgrimages of Egeria, a 4th-century nun, to Jerusalem. Father Dirk will use photos and objects from his pilgrimage to these same sacred sites to give context to the services that mark the last days of Jesus’ ministry to his death and resurrection.
Each week will allow us to explore the question, “How does what happened in Jerusalem meet with our lives today?” The dates and topics are:
February 20 - Introduction to Pilgrimage, the Holy Land, and Lent
February 27 - Going into the City - Palm Sunday
March 5 - Love one Another - Maundy Thursday
March 12 - Taking up the Cross - Good Friday
March 19 - Mystery, Light, Life - the Easter Vigil
All session are 7 pm and meet in the All Saints Conference Room, with a Zoom option for those who cannot attend in person.
Each session will focus on one liturgy, and participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their meaning for our faith today as well as look at the different ways we can observe these liturgies at St. Peter’s, using the many options provided by the Book of Common Prayer.
