Solemn Good Friday Liturgy

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Alban the Martyr
Stanhope Street / Conybere Street Birmingham, B12 0YF, United Kingdom

Experience the solemnity of Good Friday with our Liturgy of the Word, featuring three poignant Bible readings that depict the trials and tribulations of Jesus, from Isaiah’s “Suffering Servant” to the “Supreme High Priest” in Hebrews, culminating in the dramatic Passion narrative from St John’s Gospel.

Join us as we offer Solemn Prayers for all, reflecting on unity and conversion, leading to the deeply touching Veneration of the Cross. You can express your reverence through genuflecting, a bowing or a kissing the cross. The service concludes with the reverent return of the Blessed Sacrament and the sharing of Communion. 🕊️✝️🙏
