Remembering Good Friday 2023

This week, we are remembering back to last year’s Seven Last Words service on Good Friday, a beautifully immersive event that captured the day’s profound solmenity.

“Seven Last Words” refers to the seven phrases uttered by Christ on the cross during the Crucifixion, which were voiced by the Rev. Dr. Kate Epperly. Each saying was followed by a short reflection from Rev. Dr. Bruce Epperly, and improvised music from music director Alec Davis and guest soloists Patricia Portillo (mezzo-soprano), and Lawrence Reppert (tenor). All this against a background of subtly shifting colored lights and an atmosphere thick with reverential silence. The whole event was remastered with new immersive graphics, making for a powerful rewatch, and opportunity for reflection this Holy Week. Watch below or on YouTube.
