Holy Saturday: A Lament, A Container

A Grief and Drawing Workshop
Click here to register

Artist Marie Elcin, who has partnered with St. Peter’s for events before, will lead a workshop exploring grief and drawing on Holy Saturday. This will be a contemplative and tender space to spend Holy Saturday, a quiet day in the Church’s story – the day when Christ lies in the tomb, when grief is real and hope feels hidden. In the Episcopal tradition, we honor this in-between space, trusting that even in silence and sorrow, God is at work. Together, through simple drawing practices and optional ritual release, we will make space for lament, memory, and the tender hope that even in the tomb, Love has not abandoned us.

You do not need any artistic skill or experience to participate. Please do not let any drawing hesitation prevent you from this holy space on this holy day. Bring an object that feels related to a lost one or a grief experience.
