Days of Discipline, Denial, and Special Prayer
Good Friday: An Anglican Perspective
Good Friday stops everything. No flowers, no music, just a bare altar and silence. In this countercultural observance, the worst day in history is called “good”—the day divine love triumphed on the cross.
Maundy Thursday: An Anglican Perspective
Maundy Thursday blends celebration and sorrow, drawing the faithful into the Upper Room where Jesus shared his Last Supper with his disciples and gave them a new commandment, to love as He loves.
The Season of Lent: An Anglican Perspective
This season of Lent, so deeply woven into the fabric of Christian worship, carries with it centuries of history, theological development, and spiritual wisdom.
Ash Wednesday: An Anglican Perspective
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent: a time of repentance, fasting, and prayer, in preparation for the great feast of the resurrection.
Feasts and Fasts: An Anglican Perspective
The Anglican calendar is not an end in itself. It is a means of grace — a structure that orders the Church’s attention toward Christ, week after week and year after year. The feasts celebrate what God has done. The fasts make room for honesty about what we still need.
