Eucharist of the Lord’s Supper followed by The Watch of the Passion

The evening Eucharist recalls Jesus’ last supper with his disciples. This service, beginning with a mood of intimacy, ends with the stripping of the altar and a procession to the Garden of Repose which recalls the Garden of Gethsemane. From 21:00 until 00:00 The Watch, where Christians keep vigil as did Christ the night before his crucifixion, takes place until midnight.
