I never know where I am going to spend Easter morning. Playing harp professionally, I’m often a special addition to a church service or background to 
an Easter Brunch. I’ve played for Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics, Lutherans, Mennonites and Missionary Churches. This Easter, I will be playing for Saturday’s Easter Vigil mass at St. Dominic’s in Breman. Considering the service doesn’t start til 8pm, I might have a bit of trouble making it to any sunrise service the next morning. . .
You’d think that the latest I would stay up performing is for a fancy fund raiser or rousing wedding reception. Nope. It’s for Catholics.
I’m not Catholic but recently I played at St. Dominic’s for another event and I was struck by the bishop’s pronouncement of the creed, “Christ died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. This is our faith.”
And I realized that faith is exactly the point. I cross so many denominations on Easter because Easter is what all Christians hold in common.
Christ Died.
Christ is Risen.
Christ will come again.
Happy Easter.
