Holy Week & Easter 2006 in pictures... Holy Week |

 |
| People came together to celebrate the Eucharist each evening in Holy Week | We also listened to three meditations - the stories of characters from the Passion Story | On Thursday evening, the Sanctuary was stripped and the Sacrament carried to the Garden of Repose where a watch was kept... | ...and at midnight Compline was sung... |
|

|
|
| The CTED Walk of Witness in the High Street on Good Friday morning saw around 150 people come together to walk through the town... | ...and watch a series of dramas... | Each scene told of a different event in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus... | We made a stirring procession as we walked slowly down the High Street to the sound of a muffled drum... |
|
|
|
|
|
| ... down to the Green where we re-enacted the Crucifixion | "And there He hung for three hours before He finally gave up the ghost..." | "Then he broke the bread and gave it to us and suddenly we recognized him... - we realised that he was Jesus..." | In the afternoon we came together to venerate the Cross. The new lighting system now picks up details of our unusual carved Crucifixion on the Rood Screen... |
| Easter Vigil | |||
 |
 |
 |
 |
| We began our Paschal celebration on Holy Saturday evening; bringing the new flame into a darkened church... | The Easter Proclamation was sung and we renewed our Baptismal vows at the Font... | The new lighting also showed our wonderful white festal altar frontal off to great effect as we celebrated the Eucharist... | The Paschal Candle - Christ, the Light of the World... |

|
| Sunrise at the Epping Upland Dawn service | ...and the sun hit the East window picking out the Risen Lord... | Then it was breakfast - with some of Mrs Wood's delicious marmalade... | |
| Easter Day | |||
 |
|
|
|
| Easter morning - and the Flag Captain's at his pole to run up the flag... | The church looked wonderful on Easter morning - and the Flower Guild had been hard at work: | from an exuberant Easter sunrise in the Lady Chapel... | ...to a contemplative Easter Cross in the Sanctuary... |
