Easter Vigil
The Easter Vigil on Saturday evening is the most important service of the Christian year. It is a journey from darkness into light, gathering around the Easter fire where the paschal candle is lit and blessed, journeying into the dark church to hear the story of our redemption through the Old Testament until the moment of joy when the lights come on, Jesus is risen and we celebrate the first mass of Easter, followed by a party.
All are welcome to join us at 8.00pm on Saturday 31st March for a beautiful and inspiring service, and for the party which will follow.
Earlier in the day, we will be cleaning and decorating the church from 10.30am in preparation for the evening service. Please do join us.
Good Friday
On Good Friday, we remember the moment when Jesus died for us all by listening to the story of the passion, venerating the cross and receiving communion reserved on the altar of repose.
Please do join us at 10.00am at Holy Innocents for a Children’s Stations of the Cross, in which we will journey around the church, reflecting on the journey of Jesus to the Cross.
Our Liturgy of the Day will then be at 12.00pm at Holy Innocents, which will include a reading of the passion, veneration of the cross and receiving reserved communion.
Maundy Thursday
On Maundy Thursday we enter into the beauty of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and instituted the Eucharist. After the service is finished the blessed sacrament is taken to the altar of repose, made to resemble the garden of Gethsemane. The church is stripped of all decoration and we watch with Jesus in the garden until midnight.
Please do join us at Holy Trinity, Stroud Green at 8.00pm Thursday 29th March for our service, followed by a watch until midnight. Feel free to stay as long as you would like for the watch.
