No booking required

With hymns and choir anthems together with times of stillness, we offer our prayers during these hours when Jesus was raised up on the Cross to draw all people to know God's love. During the final hour of the Liturgy of the Passion, we listen to St John's account of Christ's Crucifixion and other devotional music sung by the Cathedral Choir. All are invited to gather at the foot of the Cross, the source of life and hope, and to receive the Sacrament if they wish, to share the promises Christ won for us through his dying and rising again.
