Holy Week and Easter 2021
The days between Palm Sunday and Easter are very special in the annual rhythm of the church: we call it “Holy Week”. When we were still at school, here in Bavaria we were enjoying a week of school holidays; but many people have to work – at least till Thursday! For a moment we had the funny situation that due to lockdown the “Maundy Thursday” could become an additional holiday – while in other parts of the world, even Good Friday is a regular working day. In a way, this weak ahead of us has got a sort of in-betweenish character and feeling to it.
For some it will be business as usual; for others the week will offer time and opportunity to reflect on “the passion”. What we would like to offer might look like a “full program” (see below). But do not feel overwhelmed – it will be as much or as little as you want. Join us at any time, for as many or as few sessions as you like. Or maybe focus on just one or two of the highlights. Some are shorter formats (like 15 to 20 min devotions) others are a bit longer. For some you may need to bring or prepare something. Here is an overview:
Date | Day / Time Theme (Format 1)
29 Mar, Mon / 7 pm The Servant: First Song (Short devotion, ZO)
30 Mar, Tue / 7 pm The Servant: Second Song (Short devotion, ZO)

-
1 Apr, Thu / 7 pm “A meal of remembrance: Last Supper and Seder meal” (An inter-religious conversation, ZO)
1 Apr, Thu / 9 pm Liturgy of Shadows (Solemn and meditative service, ZO, about 30 min)
Light a candle; be at a quiet, undisturbed space
2 Apr, Fri / 2 pm Stations of the cross Watch this space for announcements!
3 Apr, Sat No services (Materials for your own, quiet meditation will be provided)

Bring along / have at hand: an Easter Candle (2)
4 Apr, Sun / 4:30 pm Easter Celebration (Eucharistic Service, OOH)
Bring along / have at hand: Salt (2) - and possibly other foodstuff
If all that is too much for you, maybe just come by and visit us on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ChurchOfStBonifaceAugsburgEv) from time to time for a bit of inspiration...
