I have consulted the calendars and I have discovered that tomorrow is Palm Sunday. I realise that Mr Hume is no longer present, and that I am no clergyman. Still, I should like to mark the occasion, and so I will be making use of his multi-faith prayer room, if anyone wishes to join me over Easter week.

Palm Sunday (14th April) - 11am prayer and eucharist.

Maundy Thursday (18th April) - 11am prayer and chrism mass. I do not have holy oil, of course, but I will see what essential oils I can find, and provide water basins.

Good Friday (19th April) - 9am - meditation on Seven Last Words from the Cross / 4pm - evening prayer.

Holy Saturday (20th April) - 9am prayer / 4pm prayer.

Easter Sunday (21st April) - 5am dawn prayer / 11am eucharist / 6pm compline.

Thereafter, I shall recommence Sunday morning and Wednesday evening prayers. Even if you are not Christian, Mr Hume was very specific that this was a place for people of all faiths or no faith, so please do use it whenever and however you please. This is simply to let you know when there will be someone else there if you wish to pray or read together.

Thank you.

	Then it may be more difficult to explain than originally anticipated. A means of marking the passing of time, for one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that what religious activities are for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Apologies, I was referring to the birthdays that time. Although, admittedly, I do take some comfort in structuring the passing of year this way. The church was very central to my life at home, and Easter is a festival of rebirth that is particularly poignant in the spring.

That point aside, I know the date is a guess at best, but it is the observance that is more important to me. Easter week is a period of reflection, meditation, gratitude, mourning and celebration. I wish to continue regardless of where I find myself, it gives me hope and strength. I do not expect anyone at all to join me if they do not wish to.
