Holy Week and Pascha
2008 |
||
|
From the Sunday after the Epiphany through the Fifth
Sunday in Lent, 2008, the parish worshiped in the Oratory of the Upper Room
in the Rectory. On Palm Sunday, services resumed in the church building with
the blessing of palms and a procession. The Liturgy of Maundy Thursday
concluded with a Watch at the Altar of Repose in the Lady Chapel. On Good
Friday, new Stations of the Cross were used for the first time. Stations are
visible to the left of the Altar of Repose on Maundy Thursday and to the
left of the icon of St. Paul in the first photo of the Easter Garden. The
Stations were fashioned from photographs of Stations painted by New Mexican
santera Marie Romero Cash for the Cathedral of St. John in Albuquerque, NM.
On the morning of Pascha, the congregation entered the church by a new
Easter Garden. The High Altar was adorned with a new frontal given in
memory of Gloria Stanton and Margaret Kriss. |

Organ Historical
Society Convention |

|
The newly restored E. & G.G. Hook organ at St. Paul's was
one of the featured organs at the fiftieth anniversary convention of the
Organ Historical Society. Paul Tegels,, of Pacific Lutheran University in
Tacoma, Washington, demonstrated the features of the organ in a 20 minute
recital which he repeated four times in the course of the day. Members of
the society made a generous contribution to the organ restoration fund. |
