It begins with a wooden box—ordinary—until you lift it, and suddenly, it shifts. Inside, gold-painted skulls tumble, whispering of things ancient and eternal.

Pick it up. Shake it. Listen.

The skulls rattle like a memory of our future—a tactile memento mori, evoking the saints gathered at eternity’s table, murmuring of life and death, and shimmering with hope.

The Divine Drama has two acts:

  • SERVICE OF THE WORD - Scripture is proclaimed, prayers whispered, and mysteries revealed.

  • SERVICE OF THE TABLE - Bread blessed, broken, and given—a Paschal mystery, the feast of the Kingdom breaking into the now

Through sound, movement, and symbol, this liturgy in miniature invites reflection on a box of bones and breath, where mortality meets mystery, and we are caught, just for a moment, between what is and what will be.
