The Lenten Wreath
Episcopalians seem to appreciate the value of using all ones senses in experiencing Jesus' travels on Earth. That is most evident during our season of Lent. We know what is coming. Each Sunday as we begin our service with a short meditation before one more candle of the wreath is extinguished, we become more and more aware of His upcoming dark journey to the cross. As the last candle is extinguished, we begin to feel the overwhelming darkness as we await Christ’s crucifixion.
