CV NEWSFEED // The Museum of the Bible in Washington DC has announced a varied, Triduum-themed schedule of events for Holy Week and upcoming Easter celebrations.
According to a recent news release, the Museum plans to host a series of events, activities, and exhibits to celebrate the season, including Stations of the Cross, choir performances, Easter Brunch, and the release of a streaming documentary on the history of Easter.
“Stations of the Cross is an interactive and spiritual art experience, based in a long tradition of the church, commemorating 14 events from the last hours of Jesus’s life,” the Museum stated in the release:
Created by renowned bronze sculptor Gib Singleton, each station is sculpted to convey a spiritual and emotional connection to the soul. Also available are video devotionals focused on the Stations of the Cross, with Jeff Cavins, creator of the Great Adventure Bible Study series, and Monsignor Rosetti and DC Opera singer Crossley Hawn.
There will also be a live interactive experience of the Via Dolorosa, of “Way of Sorrow” in Latin, where “the museum’s living history interpreters will retell the Easter story as early followers of Christ and join in the ancient cry of celebration—’Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!’” The performance will take place on March 29 and 30 at 12 pm and 2pm.
The Museum will also showcase an exhibit depicting the Passion of Christ called “Ecce Homo: Behold the Man.” The exhibit will include work from 21 artists across five centuries: “from the early Syrian-Byzantine depictions to the bold interpretations of the 20th century, guests will witness the evolution of this poignant biblical scene.”
On March 30, Holy Saturday, the Museum will host a special Israeli-inspired Easter Brunch.
The Museum’s History of Easter documentary will delve into the lesser-known origins of Easter holiday traditions that extend back to times of the early Church. The documentary is available to stream for free here throughout March.
