Good Friday: At the foot of the cross - an hour of devotional prayer

Occuring
for 1 hour
Venue
St Bride's Church, Fleet Street
Address
St Bride's Church, Fleet Street, London, EC4Y 8AU 020 7427 0133, EC4Y 8AU, United Kingdom

We gather on this most solemn of days to retell in words and music the story of the last hours of Christ’s life and his death on the Cross.

The central section of our Three Hour Good Friday observance this year is a reflection on the Passion narrative in St Matthew’s Gospel, focussing on three key individuals in the narrative: Judas, Pilate and Jesus.

Each section of this Gospel narrative is explored through reflection, prayer, and silence, alongside some wonderful Passiontide hymns and instrumental music.

The Three Hour Devotion begins at 12pm with a performance of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater and concludes with a performance of Stainer’s Crucifixion at 2pm. You are warmly invited to attend all or any part of the three hours.
