Easter Eve Garden Communion

Saturday night counts for Sunday! Though the word "vigil," in popular usage, sometimes means a sad waiting period, the Easter Vigil is really just a worship service the night before Easter. Easter Eve, we offer an extremely simple service of Holy Communion. We will light the Paschal Candle, sing “Jesus Christ is Risen Today,” hear scripture and a short sermon, and share in Holy Communion. The service will last under one hour.

Join us for the full Good Friday Liturgy. The choir leads the service and chants the Passion. The service includes special prayers and readings, Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion from the Reserved Sacrament.

You can join us online or view the service at https://facebook.com/holytrinitynyc. The service leaflet & announcements may be downloaded HERE.

Reflections on the Way of the Cross & Veneration of the Cross

Our Noon to 3PM Service will not be on Facebook Live, but you are invited to join us this evening online.

Feel free to come and go, as your schedule allows during the Three Great Hours.  Though the traditional Fourteen Stations of the Cross are throughout the church during Lent, this service will reflect on each Station with prayers, hymns, and a short reflection offered by one of several preachers. After the Fourteenth Station, the congregation will be invited to venerate the cross, in gratitude that through the Cross of Christ, we are freed from sin and death and led to eternal life.   (This midday service does not include Holy Communion.)

7 PM: Maundy Thursday Liturgy

The Service Leaflet may be downloaded HERE.

"Maundy" is an English, shortened word from the Latin, "mandatum," referring to the "mandate" Jesus gives to his disciples (and us): "I give you a new commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you, says the Lord" (John 13:14).  Jesus said this as he washed his disciples' feet just before they celebrated the Passover meal.  In remembrance, we invite all those who feel comfortable to wash the feet of another (though if this is not your practice or piety, you should not feel pressured to come forward.) After the Washing of Feet, the service continues with the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist and after Communion, the Reserved Sacrament is transferred to the Memorial Chapel, and the church is stripped of all decoration and ornament.

Wednesday in Holy Week
7 PM Service of Tenebrae

The service leaflet may be downloaded HERE .

"Tenebrae" is from the Latin for "shadows," and is the name of this traditional service of readings and prayers. As the service proceeds, candles are extinguished until the church is in darkness, remembering the disciples' desertion of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and also foreshadowing the darkness of the clouds at the Crucifixion. Tenebrae at Holy Trinity is a simple and spare service, the only music being a final chanting of a psalm. 

St. Stephen’s Zoom Link to Join

We’re invited to join friends from our link parish of St. Stephen’s with St. John’s in London online on for a Slow Art session, led by Marc Woodhead., lecturer at the National Gallery of Art. Slow Art is a simple, reflective way of encountering a single work of art together, taking time to look carefully and share observations.

 
We will be looking at The Triumphant Entry of Christ into Jerusalem, a plaster cast of a 12th-century relief by an unidentified Venetian sculptor from the Capella Palatina. The cast was made in Palermo in 1869–70 by Signor Rosario Riolo and is now on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum. More can be seen HERE. 
 
All are welcome—no prior knowledge of art is needed. Simply join us, look slowly, and reflect together on this image of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week.

On six Sunday mornings, we’ll discuss Meeting Jesus at the Table: A Lenten Study. Copies of the book may be purchased in the back of the church or online HERE. On March 29, we’ll conclude our discussion of the book with Chapter 8 (pages 111 through 125).

The Gospels are full of stories of Jesus sharing meals with disciples, friends, even tax collectors and Pharisees. Whether multiplying bread to feed a whole crowd, relaxing with his inner circle, or telling curious elites stories about even greater banquets, Jesus imparts wisdom as he shares the wine and grants forgiveness as he distributes the fish. This eight-chapter resource provides biblical insights along with thought-provoking queries regarding our own time, such as whom should we invite to Sunday dinner and who is left out and left behind in our culture today.

The New York City Gay Men’s Chorus presents a free concert centering Trans singers’ stories and hopes for the future through an evening of songs that look toward a vibrant and visible future. This performance presented alongside the Youth Pride Chorus.

Join us on Friday nights in Lent as we walk the Stations of the Cross, a simple service, lasting about 40 minutes.

The devotion known as Stations of the Cross, or the Way of the Cross, is thought to have begun in 4th-century Jerusalem, as pilgrims sought to be close to the places where Jesus walked. The number of stations, or places where Jesus paused on his way to be crucified, has varied with tradition and time. Monks and nuns who visited the Holy Land took the idea of the Way of the Cross back to their monasteries, and so, by the 16th century, a number of monasteries and convents began to have small artistic representations of the Stations of the Cross in their chapels. Prayers would be said at each representation and this practice eventually spread to churches. The number of stations finally became fixed at fourteen. Of these, eight are based directly on events recorded in the Gospels and six (stations three, four, six, seven, nine, and thirteen) are based upon tradition.

Participating in the Stations of the Cross allows us to pray with our imagination. We imagine what it must have been like for Jesus to walk through the city of Jerusalem carrying his cross. We imagine how we might have reacted or not reacted. And perhaps most of all, we can imagine where God must have been in the midst of that struggle. To recognize God in such times is at the heart of Lent.

Cantori New York under the direction of Mark Shapiro will perform music of Adolphus Hailstork.

In March, we celebrate the 85th birthday of noted African-American composer Adolphus Hailstork, who has served on Cantori’s Advisory Board for 25 years. This all-Hailstork tribute concert will feature two world premieres: a new chamber orchestration of his signature oratorio CRISPUS ATTUCKS and the brand new FOUR PSALMS. Originally scored for full orchestra on a libretto by Herbert Martin, Crispus Attucks tells the story of the first American casualty of the American Revolution, and will feature soloists Lucia Bradford, Gabriel Hernandez, and Shavon Lloyd. Crispus Attucks, a man of African and Native heritage, was the first person killed in the Boston Massacre in 1770. Cantori member and composer Brian Morales has reorchestrated the expansive score for only eight instruments. Morales’ reorchestration of Vittorio Rieti’s The Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne was premiered by Cantori in 2024. Premiering also on this concert is a tetralogy of four unpublished, never-performed Psalm settings – three a cappella, one with saxophone and marimba. Experienced as a cycle, Hailstork’s Four Psalms exemplify his unique style: spiritual, resilient, and full of life. Finally, we revisit FRIENDS ETERNAL, a stirring work for chorus and three cellos which Cantori premiered last season, set to a post–Civil War poem by George Moses Horton.

Tickets can be purchased HERE
