We began our journey to the Cross on Wednesday with a reflection on the stations of the cross in the evening. A beautifully stark reflection of Jesus last journey, with well known hymns and a reflection and prayer at each station, followed by the evening office of Compline made our start to the events of Holy Week.
The Service for Maundy Thursday, which marks the end of Lent and the beginning of Passion tide was held in the evening. The service reflects the events of the Last Supper,and was followed by the Gethsemane Watch. The choir sang 'Ave Verum' setting by Byrd, and the alter was stripped to the sound of Plainsong Psalm singing. A moving and solemn service indeed
On Good Friday we met for a Service of readings and music from the Cross of Christ. This lovely service which includes hymns and motets for Good Friday including music by Bach, Ousley, Stainer and others. This service, which tells the story of Jesus's Crucifixion, in scripture and music is a yearly reminder of the sacrifice made for us.
