Last week on Holy Thursday, Catholic Charities of Orange County hosted its annual Operation Easter Basket at Cantlay Food Distribution Center. The event brought the spirit of Easter to life as we served food to over 900 families in need. Children were also treated to festive Easter baskets, bringing smiles and joy to their holiday. Thank you to all of our volunteers and supporters who helped make this day special for so many in our community!

Ngắm Đứng (Standing Meditation) is a famous and precious Catholic popular devotion, which is practiced only in Vietnam since the seventeenth century. It is a special and profound way of expressing faith in God, particularly Jesus Christ, of the Vietnamese people. A similar, Lenten devotion is practiced in Poland and it’s called Gorzkie Żale (or Bitter Lamentations). The devotion is primarily a sung reflection and meditation on the Passion of Christ and the sorrows of His Blessed Mother and dates back to 18th century. Ngam Dung is an adaptation of Tenebrae (Latin for “darkness”, that is where the light of a candle is extinguished following each Ngam), medieval Roman Catholic practices for each day of Holy Week. This ancient practice dates back to the ninth century. What makes Ngam Dung unique is how our Vietnamese Catholic ancestors creatively inculturated the rich traditions of Vietnamese folk singing (their foresight and bold faith) into the Gospel, weaving it into our cultural tapestry. Tenebrae (/ˈtɛnəbreɪ, -bri/—Latin for ‘darkness’) is a religious service of Western Christianity held during the three days preceding Easter and characterized by a gradual extinguishing of candles, and by a “strepitus” or “loud noise” taking place in total darkness near the end of the service. The video in its original format can be viewed on our YouTube Channel. Link in Bio. filmed at Christ Cathedral, Diocese of Orange. To experience Ngắm Đứng in person: Christ Cathedral Campus on 4/18 7:45 PM – Passion Reenactment, Vietnamese, ARB 9:45 PM – Passion Procession, PLAZA - more information @christcathedralca #goodfriday #paschaltriduum
