Good Friday is the most bleak and dark day of Holy Week. We mark this in music, words and prayer at St Bride’s in our Three Hours’ Devotion which concludes at 2pm with an hour of poetry and choral music for Passiontide entitled God so loved the world sung by St Bride’s Choir.

The Three Hour Devotion begins at 12pm with a performance of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater. This is followed at 1pm by an hour of words and music entitled At the foot of the Cross which focuses on St Luke’s telling of the Passion.

You are warmly invited to attend all or any part of the three hours.

MUSIC
Music will include familiar items such as Versa est in luctum by Tomás Luis de Victoria, Christus factus est by Anton Bruckner, and God so loved the world from Stainer’s The Crucifixion, alongside new compositions such as Jeremy Jackman’s setting of My song is love unknown.

SUPPORT ST BRIDE'S
There will be a collection at the event to support the work, ministry and music-making of St Bride's and help maintain our magnificent Wren church.

St Bride's is wholly reliant on and deeply grateful for the generous support of our visitors and congregation.

Donations can be made by cash or contactless at church or via JustGiving. Do please Gift Aid your donation if you are eligible which generates an extra 25p in every £1 donated.
