Easter was early this year-April 23-in fact earlier than it has been since 1913. Easter won't be as again early till 2228 (in 220 years).

Despite the early date, and the accompanying cooler weather, many processions and other events, many outside, took place during Holy Week and Easter Week throughout the diocese and elsewhere.

Here are a few of them, as submitted by parishioners.
 
Anglican Bishop Celso d'Oliveira engages in street ministry in downtown Rio de Janerio, Brazil, in a square, Largo da Carioca, with some of the poorest people in that city, on Good Friday. Every Saturday evening a group of Franciscan Anglicans celebrates Holy Communion and distributes food. The picture was submitted by Janet Morris of St. Catherine, North Vancouver, who met the bishop on a trip to Jerusalem
Bishop Michael Ingham celebrated Eucharist and Dean Peter Elliott preached. This picture shows people receiving communion from several standing stations. (Photo by Bayne Stanley)
