Good Friday
The Sisters make their way to the Cross, on which is attached a large relic of the True Cross. Each sister makes a prostration (the venia), kisses the Cross and returns to her place in choir. |
The sisters go up barefoot in Dominican tradition. |
Sr. Denise Marie brings the Cross the the Sisters who cannot go in procession to make the venia. |
The schola sings the Post Communion |
The Cross is kept with four candles in the Choir until sundown. |
