Have you ever spent a night in church, praying and meditating?
In the anticipation of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we will
hold an overnight Easter vigil at the Swiss Church on 19/20 April
2014. On Saturday night we will start the event at 7pm with a fulllength performance of Bach’s St John Passion (approx. 3 hours). At midnight there will be a service, followed by an introduction to silent meditation which will lead participants through the night. The vigil will be accompanied by hymns, readings and periods of silence in an hourly rhythm. At 6am in the morning, an Easter fire will be lit,followed by a breakfast and organ recital and the traditional Easter service at 10:30. A more detailed programme of events will be published on our website.
This unique event will make you experience the deeper meaning of
Easter with all your senses.
