Holy Saturday


O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of thy dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; who now liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

5:30 p.m.

The Fifth Avenue doors open at 4:30pm for this service, which is the last of the three great liturgies of the triduum, which began on Maundy Thursday and continued through Good Friday.

The service begins where Good Friday left off: complete darkness. If you intend to come, please arrive before 5:30pm, ideally by 5:15pm, as you will not be allowed to enter the doors during the first few minutes of the service. Also, the nave of the church will be dark and it will hard for you to find your seats if you arrive late.
