I have posted my experiences with the Jewish Sabbath and the Muslim holy day of Friday. Today, I celebrated worship on the Lord's Day at St. George's Cathedral. The cathedral is near our hotel in East Jerusalem.
I attended the 11:00 a. m. service with some forty other worshippers. The ritual was comforting, and the organ music was uplifting.
The gospel reading for the day was John 2:1-11, the account of the wedding at Cana of Galilee. The sermon was edifying.
As I listened, the many trips to Cana came to mind. Although the site is considered traditional only by most scholars, this Cana is a good place to remember the story of Mary, Jesus, and a groom and bride.
But back to St. George's and Sunday worship! For 2,000 years now, Christians continue to gather and worship the Lord who is still the joy of life. I depart rejoicing in the opportunity to worship on this Lord's Day in Jerusalem.
