March 27, 2024: Below are Holy Week and Easter Services at local houses of worship.
Wednesday, March 27, 7pm: A beautiful Holy Week Service of readings and music at Christ Church Bronxville
Christ Church begins Holy Week with the service of Tenebrae (shadows) on Wednesday evening, 3/27 at 7pm. This unique service, based on ancient tradition and usually offered on Wednesday of Holy Week, brings together meaningful readings of poetry, literature and essays with beautiful musical selections spanning styles and centuries. The church is dark, with the exception of 15 candles, which are extinguished one-at-a-time, between the readings and music, until there is one remaining. This one-hour service is reflective, solemn and spiritually uplifting. We hope you will join us to experience the magic of the Service of Shadows. Christ Church Bronxville, 17 Sagamore Rd. Bronxville.
Christ Church Bronxville
Christ Church Bronxville, or "CCBNY" as it's known in the community, is the village's Episcopal church, whose beginnings date back to 1898. The current church, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was completed in 1926 and was designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, who also designed St. Bartholomew's in New York City and the Chapel at West Point.
CCBNY offers a wide array of programs to its parishioners, who live throughout southern Westchester. The acclaimed music program boasts five choirs; international outreach efforts to Cuba; and education and service programs for family members of all ages. CCBNY is also home to the renowned children's music program Young at Arts (http://www.youngatartsny.org), and Eliza Corwin Frost (www.elizafrostschool.org), a nursery school for children ages 1 to 5.
Our services are as follows:
8:00AM Rite I Spoken Eucharist
10:00AM Family Choral Eucharist, with 11:00 AM Coffee Hour
5:00PM Informal Eucharist or Choral Evensong
"No matter where you are on your spiritual journey there is a home for you at Christ Church. Our worship, music, education and outreach challenge us to embrace holiness and fearlessly share Christ's love."
