Maundy Thursday is such a strange mixture of frenzy and stillness. The frenzy of stripping the altar – the stillness of the watch in Gethsemene afterwards.Our altar of repose looked very beautiful this year. White tulips just on the cusp of their sadness, a spray of white and a single lilly head next to Himself.…
I know that it goes against the grain to look to a PR company for your Holy Week devotions, but if you have not already seen them, take a look at the Stations of the Cross on this website:http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/8/prweb274092.htmI did mention them a while ago, but it is worth coming back to them and having…
