The Passiontide season in The Christian Community is four weeks long. These four weeks serve as a preparation time toward the Easter Festival. We work toward the development of Faith, Love, and Hope in contrast to "giving something up" although fasting or doing an extra deed to help raise consciousness is an important part of this season of inner development.

Christ is Risen, Christ is Risen indeed!

Celebrating 40 days of Easter!

“Even if people cannot yet understand the nature of the spiritual life streaming in through Christ,
in the future they will learn to understand it; then they will know that whoever lets oneself be permeated by the Christ Impulse, so that the Christ Power draws into one’s inmost being, can overcome illness through the healing forces one unfolds within oneself.”

Rudolf Steiner, The Spiritual Bells of Easter
