    Sermon #614 Maundy Thursday B(Lent as Mystery) 1 The Rev. Joan M. Kilian Trinity Episcopal Church Exodus 12: 1 – 4, (5 – 10) 11 - 14 Psalm 116: 1, 10 – 17 1 Corinthians 11: 23 - 26 John 13: 1 – 17; 31b – 35 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The other day, Jack Orman told me that if he got to decide about liturgy, he would do tonight all up in white with big bouquets of white flowers and lovely shining silver and brass. All the trimmings for a celebration. Because, as odd as it might seem in the middle of Holy Week, tonight is indeed a celebration. Tonight, we celebrate several things. We celebrate endings and beginnings, we celebrate our calling to be servants of all, and perhaps most importantly, we celebrate the unfathomable mystery of Christ’s love for us. A love that brings redemption, wholeness and re-memberment, with God and with one another. On one level, with endings and beginnings, we celebrate the fulfillment of the Old Covenant along with the inauguration of the New Covenant. God had made a covenant with Abraham to make of him a great nation and this is the fulfillment of that covenant. As we hear in Exodus, God delivers the Israelites as they are brought up out of slavery in Egypt. This first Passover will, in fact, be the very first thing that they do, formed now as “the people of God.” The Passover is a feast, a celebration, of deliverance, of fulfillment. At the same time, in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, and in the passage from John, we hear of the initiation of the New Covenant by God.

  • An Introduction to the Liturgies of Holy Week
    An Introduction to the The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday Liturgies of Holy Week The day’s full name indicates its dual focus. The reading of the Passion Narrative (the story of Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion) is preceded by the commemoration of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The Liturgy of the Palms is the entrance rite but the Passion Gospel is the central focus. The euphoria and triumph of Jesus’ entry is short-lived and the tone of the day changes dramatically. We, who moments earlier, shouted “Hosanna” now cry “Crucify him! Crucify him!” The stage is set for the rest of the week. At St. John’s, the service begins outside The Episcopal Parish of St. John the Evangelist (weather permitting). Palms are blessed and distributed and we all process into the Hingham, Massachusetts church singing the traditional Palm The heart of the Christian faith is the life, death, and resurrection of Sunday hymn “All Glory, Laud and Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus the full glory of God and the essence Honor.” As the gospel is announced, the of human nature in its perfected state.

Trevor Potter Maundy Thursday Worship Zoom Connecting Info Apr 1, 2021 Join Zoom Meeting (meeting will be open at 6:30 p.m. Mountain Time Canada) https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82799620431?pwd=blFKcnVraWp0NE5HbktiK0dHNDIyUT09 Meeting ID: 827 9962 0431 Passcode: 979142 By Phone Dial: 1 587 328 1099 Canada Meeting ID: 827 9962 0431 Service Notes: During the service we will share in communion. Please have your own "bread" and "juice" ready, wherever you may be, to fully participate. Note the quotation marks. When we worship in-person in our churches, we often use bread and grape juice as the communion elements. You are welcome to use whatever is handy, wherever you are, as your communion elements. During the Tenebrae Service of Shadows, we will be using 7 smaller candles plus a Christ candle- 8 in total. You are welcome to have the same number of candles with you if you wish. It doesn’t matter what kind of candles you use as long as they will burn for a while. (So, not cake candles.) They will be extinguished one by one in the latter part of the service. You will be muted upon entry to the service to prevent overwhelming background noise as we gather. The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin name for the day, Deis Mandatum, which means “The day of the new commandment.” The service is linked with four elements in the faith – the serving of each other and our being prepared to be served by Jesus, the New Commandment, the origins of the Eucharist/Communion, and the journey of Jesus towards the cross.

  • Holy Week at Home
    Holy Week (at home) Holy Week is one of the most important times of the Christian year. This coloring page packet includes information about Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter, and is designed for use by Christians and by people of other faiths or no faith. Use these pages during Holy Week to share with your family about the purpose and practice of these special days. On the final page, you will find questions designed to spark conversation about each day's themes. Palm Sunday Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter Sunday, and it is the start of Holy Week. On Palm Sunday, Christians retell the story of Jesus returning to Jerusalem from traveling and teaching in other places. When he arrived, he rode in on a donkey, and people waved palm branches and placed their coats on the road in front of him. These are signs of the great respect and love that these people had for Jesus. In church on Palm Sunday, Christians today often wave palm branches as the worship procession (the cross, candles, Bible, and worship leaders) comes by. These palm branches may be kept, dried out, and burned to create the ashes for next year's Ash Wednesday services. Maundy Thursday On Maundy Thursday, Christians remember the Last Supper, when Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples. He told them that the bread and the wine that they shared represented his body and blood. He told them that they should continue to share bread and wine together to remember him after he was no longer physically with them.

  • The Chapels Royal of Britain. Iv
    THE CHAPELS ROYAL OF BRITAIN THE CHAPELS ROYAL OF BRITAIN. IV. CHAPEL ROYAL, WHITEHALL. BY J. CRESSWELL RoscAMP, M.E. "Sir, you Must no more call it York Place: that is past,. For since the Cardinal fell, that title's lost ; 'Tis now the King's, and call'd-Whitehall." HITEHALL derived its name from the old Palace that stood W there till it was destroyed by fire in 1698. At the present time it is principally known from being the headquarters of aU the various offices connected with the Government and for the Horse­ Guard's building which was designed by Kent and is beautifully proportionate. The Palace of Whitehall was original! y known as " York House,'"~ and was the London residence of the Archbishops of York till •~ it was delivered and demised to the King (Henry VIII) by Charter February 7 (1529), on the disgrace of Cardinal Wolsey, Arch­ bishop of York, and was t,hen called Whitehall." It was built in 1240 by Hubert, Earl of Kent, and soon afterwards became the property of the Friars Predicant of Black Friars (Dominicans). who in 1248 sold it to Walter de Grey, Archbishop of York; and from that time to the fall of Wolsey it belonged to the See of York. Cll:rdinal Wolsey built much on to it including a Chapel, and it assumed under his ambitious tenure a splendour equal to, if not. surpassing, that of any Royal residence. The Cardinal had a passion for architecture and building, and loved pomp and magnificence, and thus it is not surprising to find his having made great additions, as he did at Oxford and Hampton Court.

  • Tudor Coinage B.J
    TUDOR COINAGE B.J. COOK Introduction THE study of Tudor coinage since the foundation of the British Numismatic Society has been overwhelmingly dominated by two figures, Henry Symonds (PI. 3c) in the first half of the 20th century, and Christopher Challis (PI. 7b) from the 1970s to the present day. It is pleasingly apposite that Symonds's contribution is considered in detail elsewhere in this volume by Christopher Challis. The work of both Symonds and Challis has not for the most part been numismatic in the very technical sense: neither of them has produced catalogues, or works of detailed classification. Their achievement has been rather to provide an unparalleled insight into the production, organisation and use of coinage, that scholars of other periods can only hope to emulate, rather than excel. Specialist work on the coinage of the Tudors before the foundation of the Society was in fact sparse in the extreme. In Brooke's English Coins of 1933 the only such early contribution deemed worthy of inclusion in the bibliography was Sir John Evans' 1886 paper on the debased coinage of Henry VIII, published in the Numismatic Chronicle.' Occasionally picked up by modern scholars is A.E. Peake's 1891 article 'Some notes on the coins of Henry VII', which was an enterprising attempt to link details of the coinage with historical events, not all of which may have been wholly misguided.2 Given this scope for further investigation, it cannot be said that the foundation of the BNS did a great deal initially to remedy this apparent neglect, since work on Tudor numis- matics in the first half of the 20th century continued to be somewhat restricted, apart, of course, from Henry Symonds (the most spectacular exception to this generalisation), who split his many publications between the Journal and the Numismatic Chronicle.
