"From early times Christians have observed the week before Easter as a time of special devotion. As the pilgrim Egeria recorded in the late fourth century, Jerusalem contained many sacred places that were sites for devotion and liturgy. Numerous pilgrims to the holy city followed the path of Jesus in his last days. They formed processions, worshipped where Christ suffered and died, and venerated relics. From this beginning evolved the rites we observe today. The BCP provides special liturgies for each of these days. The eucharistic lectionary also provides proper readings for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in Holy Week" which we will celebrate on these days.

Maundy Thursday
March 28th - 6pm
The Thursday in Holy Week is part of the Triduum, or three holy days before Easter. It comes from the Latin mandatum novum, “new commandment,” from Jn 13:34.
The ceremony of washing feet was also referred to as “the Maundy.” Maundy Thursday celebrations also commemorate the institution of the eucharist by Jesus “on the night he was betrayed.”
This year, we are joining our sister parish, St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Jeffersonville with Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows celebrating at the Holy Eucharist, followed by the stripping of the altar. St. Paul's Jeffersonville is located at 321 E. Market Street, Jeffersonville, IN 47130.
We hope that you will join us at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in JEFFERSONVILLE, IN at 6pm

The eucharist is not celebrated in the Episcopal Church on Good Friday,
