This may be my favorite Holy Day.
I love the drama, the foot washing, stripping the altar--I love everything about it.
Trinity invited other Episcopal Churches and, in spite of the torrential rain around 5 p.m., we had about 60 folks show up.
Brett, another priest celebrated and I did the rest.
Just as I was pouring wine and water on the five wounds of Christ on the marble altar top, they turned out the lights and a giant lightening strike nearby and a mighty roll of thunder happened!
I wondered if God was pleased or not with how I was doing it.
Then soup--seven kinds--and bread and cookies and wine.
A fine feast to end the late afternoon.
Maundy Thursday is wondrous.
