What a truly blessed Holy Week! Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington was our Palm Sunday preacher. The Holy Triduum included baptizing, confirming, and receiving 25 people at Easter Vigil, and we gloriously celebrated the Resurrection on Sunday!

We are very excited about having #MariannBudde visiting us at @gracecathedral for #PalmSunday this year!

Truly a joyous celebration at Sunday’s Evensong for the investiture of our first 8 Girl Choristers since the 1940s! Their parents dressed them in white surplices symbolizing this achievement!

Great afternoon with Amy-Jill Levine. Her work as a biblical scholar is inspiring. Especially her scholarship on first century women and Judaism and the New Testament!

Rev. Abraham Akaka at Kawaiaha’o Church was a strong supporter of the Civil Rights Movement and marched with Dr. King to Selma.

The lei they are wearing represented “a symbol of hope and peace in the face of fear and ignorance” from the people of Hawai’i.

🔊 Sound on: The Abbey bells are ringing out to celebrate the birthday of HRH The Princess of Wales today.

Our bell ringers are ringing 543 changes of Stedman Caters followed by a course of London Surprise Royal.

The bells are traditionally rung to mark church festivals and royal occasions.
