Join us in the Cathedral for the Cathedral Eucharist, with Procession of Palms on Sunday 2 April, Palm Sunday, at 10.30am.
HOLY WEEK and PALM SUNDAY
For centuries Christians have found that the one of the most moving ways of encountering the depth of God’s love for the world is to approach Holy Week as a journey, steps along which are taken each day in a devotional pattern that includes a liturgical act of worship.
Whether or not you have done this before, we would encourage you to come to the cathedral for a service each day between Palm Sunday and Easter Day: not only joining the triumphal entry in Jerusalem on today, but walking with Jesus through his final days, standing close by in his passion and death, and rejoicing with overwhelming amazement as the disciples make their discovery of the empty tomb, at Easter.
The procession of palms, accompanied by a reading or singing of the Passion Narrative, was being observed in Jerusalem as far back as the fourth century. We, too, will go on procession with our palms today, in a re-enactment of Jesus’ journey towards, and triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and hear the Passion according to Luke as the enthusiastic hosannas of the crowd on Palm Sunday in our opening reading, turn into cries from the crowd to crucify Jesus.
