In union with the rest of the Catholic world we began our Easter Triduum with the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper. The pictures in this post show the incensation of the Blessed Sacrament before the procession to the Altar of Repose.
I would like to thank those who have worked so hard over the last few days in preparing the Altar of Repose. I am sure you will agree the results are wonderful and it contributed to a very prayerful atmosphere in the church throughout the Watching.

Hi Father you have a beautiful church and i am sure you have plans to make it even better, by putting our lord back in the center! What is the tradtion about the Lord in tomb underneath the the Altar of repose? Be great for next year to get a white curtain for the altar of repose and more greenry and flowers on the altar! many thanks for a lovely Blog
I came across the tradition of the Tomb for Our Lord in my last parish. It is a Polish custom. The tomb of the Lord froms the Altar of Repsoe on Holy Thursday. On Good Friday the COnsecrated Host is placed in the tomb and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament follows. On Holy Saturdaay the figure of the Crucified is cover over, the Tabernacle is removed and the Altar of repose becomes the Easter Garden.
Hope this answers your quirey and sorry for the late reply.
