The Cathedral of the Incarnation, April 13–20, 2025
An invitation from the Dean of Long Island
This Holy Week, something ancient and luminous hovers above our heads.
Suspended in the Cathedral Crossing is Luke Jerram’s breathtaking Museum of the Moon—a twenty-foot sculpture glowing from within, detailed with NASA imagery and hanging like a blessing over our prayers. This is more than an art installation; it is a sacred mirror, calling us to walk with Christ through the deepening drama of Holy Week—not only in the light of faith, but in the borrowed and mysterious light of the moon.
The moon, after all, is no stranger to the story of salvation. It watches over Gethsemane. It rises above Golgotha. It governs the tides and the calendar, even determining the date of Easter each year. As Barbara Brown Taylor writes in Learning to Walk in the Dark, “new life starts in the dark.” So too, the journey of Holy Week begins in shadow—and ends in rising light.
I invite you, your family, and your neighbors to experience the sacred mysteries of Holy Week and Easter at the Cathedral under this lunar light. Come not merely to observe, but to be drawn in—to stand beneath the moon and walk the ancient path of life, death, and resurrection.
