Easter
April 5, 2026 · March 28, 2027
Lord, the tomb is empty. Death could not hold you, and night could not overcome you. May this day of resurrection become the hope of all our tomorrows. Amen.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew 28–6
Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
Luke 24
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Corinthians 15
Easter
Easter is the center of the church year: Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Without Easter, Christmas would have no meaning — he was born for this moment. Eastern and Western churches calculate the date differently, which is why they sometimes fall on different days.
In our chapel, the light of Easter pours through the great door and every white candle is lit. Come in, sit a while — there is nothing you have to do.
