The non-denominational service will begin at 6 a.m., 13 minutes before sunrise. Sit in the outdoor amphitheater in the middle of a beautiful desert landscape and watch the sun come up over the mountains across the Tucson Basin.

History
Sanctuary Cove's Easter Sunrise Service in Tucson was started in 1957 by Elmer Staggs, a rancher and preacher who homesteaded much of the land at the base of Safford Peak. The gathering has been held every year since.
