Special Services

Eastertide

The church celebrates transformational power of Easter and Jesus’ resurrection and its potential effect on our lives not only on Easter day but throughout the Easter season—the great fifty days that begins on Easter day and continues through the day of Pentecost. From the glorious floral adornments throughout the Cathedral to the white vestments of the communion ministers to the alleluias in the songs and prayers, we respond with joy to the resurrection and newness of life in Christ as we say: The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!
