Three Hours at the Cross, concluding with Liturgy of Good Friday

for 3 hours
Chester Cathedral
St Werburgh Street Chester, CH1 2DY, United Kingdom

Good Friday is the day when Christians remember the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.

The Three Hours’ Devotion was introduced into the Church of England in the nineteenth century. There will be further addresses on the theme of the week and silence for people’s own reflection. People can come and go during the devotion if they don’t want to stay for the whole Three Hourse. The final hour is the Liturgy of Good Friday, which includes choral music and a reading of the Passion Narrative.
