Happy Easter! This morning Matthew and I worshipped at St. Mary's Episocopal Cathedral. While we've been attending Eikon, we decided to celebrate the day of Christ's resurrection at a historic, traditional, reverent church. St. Mary's is a magnificent cathedral - the meaningful service boasts all things symbolic - the church building in the shape of a cross, incense as the presence of the Holy Spirit, stain glass windows, and the glorious, sheer magnitude of space. We received communion at the High Alter to Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. We exited the celebratory service to Widor's Toccata. Matthew articulated it best when he stated, "The beauty of the room sensually captures you; it intends to bring your senses into the beautiful reality that you are surrounded and immersed in God."
