Since the middle of the first century, the followers of Jesus commemorated his life death and resurrection. Over the intervening centuries the liturgical seasons of Lent and Easter were developed. Now they are celebrated by Christians all over the world. What was celebrated then? How do we understand it now in the 21st century? We will look at the stories, events, and processes that have so profoundly influenced Christian theology and spiritual practice. Hopefully we will find new relevance and meaning in these ancient mysteries. An interfaith worship
incorporating prayers and readings from several traditions will follow the talk.
Jim Cooper's  music will provide inspiration and meditative awareness.

Dena Blay-Stroba, OCDS, is the Dean of World Wisdom Tradions programs at Lakeshore Interfaith Institute.  A Lay Carmelite  from the Catholic Tradition, she is also a disciple of Swami Bhashyananda, a Hindu monk, who inspired the formation of  Mothers Trust and the Institute.
