Lent and Holy Week

Maundy Thursday Service

At the end of the service, people light candles in front of the "Easter garden" on the high altar, as a symbol of their prayers.
Candles are lit.

Silent prayer vigil

People sit in silent vigil until midnight. They think about when Jesus asked his disciples to watch and pray with him in the Garden of Gethsemane, before his arrest and crucifixion.
(The Bible, Matthew chapter 26 verses 36-46)
