About Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday we celebrate with joy the mystery of Christ’s resurrection. In Saint Mark’s gospel, when Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James and Salome come to anoint Jesus’ body with herbs, they are surprised that the stone closing his tomb has been rolled away. Inside they find only a young man whose words invoke awe and amazement:

“Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.”
--Saint Mark, 16:6-7

About the Music

This Sunday we feature a world-premiere Cantata composed by Cantor Bálint Karosi. The cantata is scored for solo soprano and Baroque ensemble and has a traditional Cantata form featuring recitatives, arias and the Easter Chorale "I am Content." Drawn from English translations of Bach's Easter Cantatas, the text relates the Easter story through the voice of the Saint Peter's Soprano Soloist, Addy Sterrett.
