Holy Week and Paschal Services for St. Aidan’s – 2023

Posted in St. Aidan Community | Tagged , , , - by Rebecca

Sunday April 9; Monday April 10; Tuesday April 11, 5:30 pm – Bridegroom Matins (approx.2 hrs) – at the Christchurch Anglican 46 13 Ave. S (old yellow church just up from Safeway corner of 1St and 13 Ave. S).

“Behold, the Bridegroom comes at midnight, and blessed is the servant whom He shall find watching…Your Bridal Chamber I see adorned, O my Saviour, but I have no wedding garment that I may enter. O Giver of Light, enlighten the vesture of my soul and save me.”

The theme of this beautiful service is the betrayal of Judas contrasted with the repentance of the Harlot. It follows the theme of the first three days of Holy Week where our Lord enters Jerusalem and voluntarily goes to His betrayal and to His death on the cross to redeem all of mankind from death.
