The worship service to begin Holy Week starts out with the triumphant of Jesus into Jerusalem. Hosanna, Lord, hosanna!
However, after this joy-filled service starts, things turn dark. We quickly escalate to the crucifixion of Jesus. This year, the Passion Gospel read is Mark 14:32—15:47. (The 8:00 service uses the shorter version, Mark 15:1–47.) The service concludes with us meeting our Lord in the Bread and Wine of Communion.

On this evening, we remember that Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper before his trial. “Do this in remembrance of me.”
However, before we get to that point, we remember that Jesus washed the feet of the disciples before dinner as a sign of servant leadership. Jesus told us to serve in humility, too. So, this evening, we wash feet. It is entirely optional whether you take part in washing feet. There are understandable reasons where some would have problems participating.

Rejoice now, heavenly hosts and choirs of angels, and let your trumpets shout Salvation for the victory of our mighty King (The Exsultet). If any man be devout and love God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast (The Paschal Sermon of St. John Chrysostom).
Celebrate the Resurrection and our salvation at the Great Vigil of Easter. This service takes us through salvation history, culminating with “Christ is risen!”
You may not have been to an Easter Vigil before. If you have never been to an Easter Vigil, you should strongly consider coming to this service. It is that important.
Services this day are festive, starting the 50-day Easter season.
