When it became apparent that we would not be celebrating the Holy Triduum in the usual way, I began a mental list of all the things that I would miss most. Top of the list was the Vigil fire. Gracie exclaimed, "we wont get to do our pilgrimage to the 7 churches!"
Each day we will also stream Mass/Communion Service with either Bishop Barron or the Cathedral of St Raymond.
Gratefully, the Nativity House community members were eager to observe the Triduum from home. We divided the responsibilities up amongst us.
Holy Thursday, The Last supper - Gracie
Good Friday, Stations of the Cross - Becca; Veneration & Taize - Justin
Easter Vigil, Vigil Fire & Liturgy of Light - Me!
Easter Brunch - The Community
Each day we will also stream Mass/Communion Service with either Bishop Barron or the Cathedral of St Raymond.
Below you will find a photo log of Holy Thursday.

When Gracie began reading the introduction to this prayer tears started welling up in me. Connection - it was as if a Golden Thread was running all the way from the Israelites experiencing the Exodus, to Jesus at His Passover, to now.
We kept it simple. Clearly not a traditional seder meal. Our bitter herb was lettuce sprinkled with fresh ground pepper. Bitter indeed.
Streaming Mass with the Cathedral of St Ray's. Fr Ryan Adorjan's homily - wow.
