These past four days have been intensely religious. It began on Thursday with a Passover Seder meal at the Guilford Church, followed by the traditional Maundy Thursday "Office of Tenebrae," in which a series of readers narrates Jesus's last day, with a gradual extinguishing of light. Friday was the ecumenical 3-hour Good Friday service with the "Seven Last Words." We heard seven powerful "sermons," and sang eight anthems. Saturday we drove to Stamford, CT for the Feinland family Seder at the
Water's Edge Restaurant followed by a dessert at Doris and Ray's apt. Then today was a glorious Easter celebration at Guilford - great music! - and dinner at Katie and Savanna's.
