Maundy Thursday – is set aside to commemorate the beginning of Jesus’
suffering as he gathers in the upper room with his disciples; washed their
feet; gives them “final” instructions”; reveals his betrayer; institutes the
Lord’s Supper; and then proceeds to the Garden of Gethsemane where he
prays; is betrayed and arrested; and then taken to stand trial before the San-
hedrin (the high court of the jews).
Good Friday – is the day we ponder the intensity of Jesus’ suffering: his trial
before Pontius Pilate; his rejection by those he came to save; the abuse and
mockery of the Roman soldiers; the crucifixion; the pain and agony in three
hours of supernatural darkness and divine desertion. The church is gradually
darkened as the Lamb of God lays down his life for us.
Easter Vigil - on Saturday evening, God’s people gather for the “Vigil of
Easter”, a service to prepare oneself for Easter morning. In times past, the
Vigil was used as a service in which converts were baptized and received the
Lord’s Supper for the first time.
Easter Sunday – the highpoint of the Church Year. The joyful greeting
“Christ is risen!” receives an equally joyful response: “He is risen, indeed!”
Our sins are forgiven. Because Jesus lives, we also will live. Songs of cele-
bration and “Alleluias” fill in the air.
