This was an excellent project for St. Anne's Episcopal. It introduced a congregation to the possibilities of adding new, seasonal visual elements to the worship setting. The fabric veils were progressively added to the altar space over the weeks of Lent until they obscured the crucifix.
The project was simple and could be replicated in different colors for other seasons--even by those who do not consider themselves artistic.
The first image is of the design proposal which was submitted to the vestry. The others are of the final installation as it looked before Good Friday.
worship considerations:
Below are links to Tyrus's monthly, downloadable pdf postings about visual elements in the worship space. They offer just a taste of the kind of issues with which he can assist your congregation.
