Holy Thursday and Good Friday

Holy Thursday

Confiteor, Kyrie and then the Gloria with the bells!

Consecration of the Precious Blood

Procession with the Blessed Sacrament to the Altar of Repose.

Tantum Ergo

The stripping of the altar.

We have a family tradition of visiting several Altars of Repose in our area on Holy Thursday evening. This year we only went back to our parish as one place ended before we were able to get there after Mass and we wanted to get to Confession and couldn't make it to the 2nd church before their Adoration ended.
