Liturgy of our Lord's Passion and Death

for 1 hour
St James' Islington
Islington, N1 8PF, United Kingdom

This is a profoundly beautiful and solemn service. It continues from the night before when we met to celebrate the institution of the Eucharist, to have our feet washed, and to watch with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemene. Today we gather in the bare church to remember his passion and his death. We hear the Gospel of his Passion, we lament those things we have done which have caused pain to others, we hold before God in love and compassion those who suffer today, and we venerate the cross. We consume the reserved sacrament, and we leave the church in silence, awaiting the hope of the resurrection.
