Holy Week 2021 Easter Vigil April 3 Holy Week 2021 Easter Vigil April 3 - 7:30 pm Easter Sunday April 4 - 8:00 am & 11:00 am Tenebrae, the Latin word for “shadows’ or “darkness”, is the popular Easter Eggs to go afterwards! name for the ancient monastic offices of Matins and Lauds appointed for each of the last three days of Holy Week. With the liturgical renewal of the last century came the restoration of the proper Triduum liturgy (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil), and Tenebrae for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday fell into disuse. Recognizing the great beauty and value of the Tenebrae texts, the Standing Liturgical Commission of the Episcopal Church provides a service of Tenebrae in the Book of Occasional Services, upon which tonight’s liturgy is based. It combines into one service the strongest elements of all three Tenebrae offices and offers an extended meditation on, and a prelude to, the events in our Lord’s life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection. The mood is somber and reflective. As the readings progress, the candles on the altar are gradually extinguished until only one lone candle remains. Then even that single light is hidden away, and we remain in darkness, meditating on the mystery of Christ’s death and the apparent victory of darkness and evil in our lives. The candle then reappears, and by its light of resurrection, we pray and leave quietly, anticipating the events to unfold during Holy Week. Reading 1 “The Shadow of Betrayal” Matthew 26:20-25 Celebrant: Truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me. Reading 7 “The Shadow of Death” Luke 23: 33-46 Community: The Son of Man will go as it is written. Celebrant: Darkness covered the whole land when Jesus had been crucified; Reading 2 “The Shadow of Inner Agony” Luke 22:40-44 Community: and about the ninth hour he cried with a loud voice: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And he bowed his head and handed over his Celebrant: Father, take this cup from me. spirit. Community: Yet, not my will, but yours be done. Closing Prayer Reading 3 “The Shadow of Loneliness” Matthew 26: 40-45 Celebrant: Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation Community: The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Reading 4 “The Desertion” Matthew 26: 47-50, 55-56 Celebrant: Have you come out as against a robber, Community: with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day, I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me; but now, behold, you scourge me, and lead me away to be crucified. Reading 5 “The Shadow of Accusation” Matthew 26:59-67 Celebrant: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God. Community: You have said so. Reading 6 “The Shadow of Mockery” Mark 15: 12-20 Celebrant: The soldiers put a purple robe on him and placed a crown of thorns on his head. Community: And they began to cry out, “Hail, King of the Jews”. .

  • Palm Sunday Holy Thursday Good Friday Vigil Easter
    Palm Sunday Holy Thursday Good Friday Vigil Easter Triduum Tri Triduum Holy Week The Triduum– Holy Thursday Lent ends on the evening of Holy Thursday with the celebration of the liturgy called, Holy Thursday, Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper. On the morning of Holy Thursday the Chrism Mass is celebrated by the bishop of each diocese. For pas- toral reasons it may be celebrated on a day prior to Holy Thursday. In the Chrism Mass the bishop, concelebrating Mass with the priests in his diocese, blesses oils and consecrates the oil mixed with chrism. The blessing of the oils is an ancient tradition dating back to Hippolytus and the Apostolic Tradition of the third centu- ry. Two oils are blessed: oil of catechumens and oil of the infirmed; one oil is consecrated: Sacred Chrism. The Triduum– Holy Thursday The Easter Triduum is the “mother of all feasts”. All other feasts of the liturgical year hinge on this great feast. The Triduum, which means, “three days”, is the word designated for the celebration of the Lord’s paschal mystery that spans three days; it is one great liturgy that lasts three days. There is no formal closing to the Holy Thursday or Good Friday liturgies as each is a continuation of the pre- vious one until the liturgy culminates with the Easter Vigil. The Triduum begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, continues with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, culminates with the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, and ends on Easter Sunday at sundown.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • The Easter Vigil and Mass of Our Lord's Resurrection
    EASTER SUNDAY THE EASTER VIGIL AND MASS OF OUR LORD'S RESURRECTION The Easter Vigil and Mass (usually) celebrates the Outpouring of God’s mercy in four movements: 1. A Festival of Light; 2. A festival of Story; 3. A festival of Water, with Baptism, Confirmation of Adults, and the general renewal of our Baptismal Promises; 4. A festival of Thanks (‘Eucharist’), "when the whole Church is called to the table the Lord has prepared for his people through his death and resurrection." (Roman Missal) As we keep vigil for the new dawn, we tell the stories of God and His People, our story, in the new light of Christ, the visible sign of the merciful Father. We remember the wonderful story of God gradually instructing and forming a People for himself, through his constant mercy and renewal of the Covenants, as we have heard in the Scriptures this Lent. We celebrate Christ’s PassOver, and the out-pouring of love and mercy from his pierced side, into which we are plunged and baptised, in which we have Communion. In this vigil we read our own history and our present life by the light of the Risen Christ. We respond to each 'word of love' in song, followed by a prayer for which we stand. 11. Part One SOLEMN BEGINNING OF THE VIGIL THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT >without the usual gathering outside the darkened church around a fire, and the preparation, lighting, and procession, the Paschal Candle is lit, and welcomed: Priest: The Light of Christ! All: Thanks be to God! >The Cantor chants the Hymn of Praise of the Paschal Candle, the 'Exultet' Part Two THE FESTIVAL OF STORY > Reading: Genesis 22: 1 – 18.

  • Easter Vigil
    THE GREAT VIGIL OF EASTER LITURGICAL NOTES Because this liturgy is celebrated only once a year, and because it is unlike any other, it requires careful preparation. This will include not only the necessary liturgical items (fire, Paschal candle, candles, water, oil, etc.) but also of services sheets, music and so on. It is recommended that the service sheets for the people be as simple as possible. It might include music, hymnody and the like, when they occur within the liturgy, rather than moving from one book(let) to another. Ministers and servers should rehearse, as should readers and musicians, especially as lighting for the first half of the liturgy will be very different from normal. The book for the presider needs to be prepared well in advance, and it is advisable for it to contain only the liturgical texts needed for this particular celebration. The liturgical colour is white or gold. Order of the Vigil The Great Vigil consists of four parts: the Service of Light; the Ministry of the Word; the Ministry of Baptism, Confirmation, Reception and Renewal, together with renewal of Baptismal promises; and the celebration of the Easter Eucharist. Over the centuries these elements have been arranged in various ways. The order as provided here is the most common, although it is often used with the Ministry of the Word and the Service of Light reversed. To begin with the Ministry of the Word suggests that the readings from the Hebrew (Old) Testament are preparatory to the presence of Christ. To begin with the Service of light suggests that all we do is seen in the light of the presence of the risen Christ.

  • Holy W Eek: Good Friday Tenebrae
    shepherd of the hills LUTHERAN CHURCH 7691 S. University Blvd. Centennial CO 80122 | 303-798-0711 ShepherdHillsChurch.org THE ORDER OF TENEBRAE The Service of Tenebrae is an ancient Holy Week devotion. The name Tenebrae means shadows or darkness, and the service has taken its name from the ceremony of extinguishing the candles and lights in the worship space, thus gradually casting the church into complete darkness. This marks the end of the Good Friday celebration. To impress on the minds and hearts of believers the awful consequences of their sin and the magnitude of the Savior’s sacrifice, the ancient church held a Tenebrae service most nights in Holy Week and/or early in the morning at the Offices of Matins and Lauds on all three days of The Triduum (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, 7:00 PM 7:00 Easter Vigil). The service, conducted in solemn dignity, went from light to darkness, representing the darkness on the earth while Jesus hung on the cross and reminding us of the darkness of sin and eternal death. When the Christ Candle is removed, we are reminded of Christ’s death and His three days in the tomb. Its | return to the chancel points us to Jesus’ glorious resurrection on Easter and to Christ as the Light of the World. As the service begins, the Bible is open to Isaiah 53, the most magnificent Old Testament prophecy of our Lord’s Work of Redemption. The loud closing of the Bible during the service symbolizes the completion of the Old Testament era of anticipation of Jesus’ great Work of Salvation: His death in full payment for our sins.

  • Palm Sunday/Holy Week at Home
    Holy Week at Home Adaptations of the Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday Rituals for Family and Household Prayer These resources are prayerfully prepared by the editorial team at Liturgical Press. These prayers are not intended to replace the liturgies of Holy Week. Rather, they are a sincere effort to cultivate some of the rituals and spirit of Holy Week in our own homes when public celebration might not be possible. LITURGICAL PRESS Collegeville, Minnesota www.litpress.org Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion Introduction Palm Sunday celebrates two seemingly different stories. We begin the liturgy by commemorating Jesus’s triumphant journey to Jerusalem where he is greeted by shouts and songs of acclamation and joy. Everything seems to be going well. Jesus is hailed as a King and people wave palm branches to show their honor for him. By the time we reach the Gospel, however, we hear the Passion of Jesus Christ, recalling the events leading up to his crucifixion and death on the cross. It may seem strange that these two extremes are celebrated on Palm Sunday, but that is the reality of the Paschal Mystery. There is only one story. Jesus’s life, death and resurrection are all connected; It is impossible to separate them as isolated events. The same is true for our lives. Everything we do is united with Christ, the good times and the difficult ones. Even when God seems distant and far away, we know that we are always connected to the story of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection.
