Plan to pray and sing, wash and walk, keep silent and feast
Here is an ancient text about this holy time:
Sunset to sunrise changes now, for God doth make the world anew; on the Redeemer's thorn-crowned brow the wonders of that dawn we view.
E'en though the sun withholds its light, lo! a more heavenly lamp shines here, and from the cross on Calvary's height gleams of eternity appear.
Here in o'erwhelming final strife the Lord of life hath victory, and sin is slain, and death brings life, and earth inherits heaven's key.
--Clement of Alexandria, second/third century C.E.
