Maundy Thursday Shadow Sketches

As part of a Service of Shadows for Maundy Thursday April 2, 2026, these sketches were drawn as each “shadow” of Christ’s final hours were read. I had a general idea before hand but for the most part each came together more or less spontaneously during the reading. I used a large flip chart in front of the congregation. As each candle was blown out, I flipped to a new page and once the reading began, started a new sketch. We then created a kind of gallery of the finished shadow sketches in the church.

Today is Orthodox Holy Saturday, a good day to listen to Alfayev’s “St. Matthew Passion.” This was originally composed to Slavonic texts, but the composer also made an English version, to which I have linked here.

A #poetry thread

i.

In sable night
that lacks the stars,
a sealed off cave.
A man, five scars.

The tail of night,
a crack is heard.
Black stone is rolled,
a flight of birds.

Beloved with
her oils and herbs.
She sees the stone
and finds no words.
