beautifully set for a commemoration of the Last Supper.<\/p>\n<p>Long tables decorated with vine leaves and grapes held the plates of roasted lamb (cooked to perfection), unleavened bread and \u2018bitter herbs\u2019 in salad, followed by a special almond cake and fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Preparing for the Eucharist, the ceremony of washing the feet took place, then commencing with our Rector Jan, all communicated their next neighbour with pita bread and wine, a very moving experience.<\/p>\n<p>Moving through the memorial garden into the church in silence, those present quietly removed all the decorations from the alter and sanctuary into the vestry while Psalm 22 \u00a0and Matthew, Chapter 26 beginning at v. 36, in the garden of Gethsemane, were being read.\u00a0 As the reading ended the final candles and lights were extinguished and we departed in silence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a
