In the Gospel according to John, it is the culmination of a cosmic battle between light and darkness, which John often describes using the metaphors of day and night. During this season, we will walk with Jesus through each scene of this final night, until we reach the cross. Using a blend of ancient and modern elements, we will move through the darkness, and thereby prepare ourselves for the joy and celebration of Easter.
