Holy Women, Holy Men

The Episcopal Church remembers those who have gone before us in the faith by setting aside particular days to honor these holy people. We look to these saintly men and women as examples of living out our Christian witness.

On July 28, we remember Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, and Henry Purcell. These three men, in service of God and church, composed and performed many of history’s most powerful and cherished religious works, many of which continue to grace our worship services to this day. Their translation of the majesty of God and Holy Scripture into music enhances our worship of God in Christ and inspires all those who seek to honor God through the arts.

Almighty God, beautiful in majesty and majestic in holiness, who teaches us in Holy Scripture to sing your praises and who gave your musicians Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, and Henry Purcell grace to show forth your glory in their music: Be with all those who write or make music for your people, that we on earth may glimpse your beauty and know the inexhaustible riches of your new creation in Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
