Great Vigil of Easter

  • St. John's Episcopal Church 101 Chapel Street Portsmouth, NH, 03801 United States (map)

Great Vigil of easter 8PM

The service begins on the patio of Roberts Hall and moves into the Sanctuary, with music.

‘Holy Week’ is the most holy week of the church year. On these days we honor the journey that Jesus went through in his final days in Jerusalem. The services offer an opportunity for all of us to contemplate Jesus’ ministry, the people whose lives he touched, and how his story is a part of our story.

The Great Vigil of Easter Service on Saturday evening will not be live-streamed this year because it will begin fireside, on the patio of Robert's Hall and migrate into the Sanctuary mid-service. If you are interested in joining us remotely, please re-visit our Great Vigil service from 2022 which follows the same program we will be following in-person.

Additionally, the SpiritBound Digital Mission will have a simple, contemplative service for the Easter Vigil at 5pm this Saturday, April 8th on Facebook Live. Click here for the Easter Vigil Facebook Event.
