About the Event
The first celebration of Easter—one of the most extraordinary services of our tradition—beginning with the kindling of the new fire, storytelling by candlelight, and culminating in the first joyful proclamation of Easter. Gather with us for this ancient practice of keeping the Easter feast.
This year, the entire service will take place inside the cathedral. Readings will unfold from different places in the space, drawing us deeper into the sacred narrative. Then, with great joy, we will proclaim Easter’s arrival and celebrate the glory of the resurrection.
In person & livestreamed to YouTube & Facebook. Childcare available starting at 6:30 pm.
