Liturgy of the Palms and Procession

for 45 mins
Giggleswick: St Alkelda's
Church Street Giggleswick Settle North Yorkshire, BD240BE, United Kingdom

Today, we enter into Holy Week with palm branches, a reading of the Passion and Holy Communion. Our procession starts at Holy Ascension Church and we process through the town and onto St Alkelda's Church at Giggleswick. The procession reminds us of Jesus’ entry into the Jerusalem where everyone shouted “Hosanna” – the same voices who later cried “Crucify”.

Giggleswick: St Alkelda's

St. Alkelda's Church in Giggleswick is the Ancient Parish Church of this part of North Craven. Until the 1830s,  the parish of Giggleswick included the modern parishes of Settle, Langcliffe, Stainforth and Rathmell with Wigglesworth. 

The church is early Tudor and incorporates substantial remains of at least two earlier buildings. Two major restorations have been carried out, the first between 1890 and 1892 and a second, less radical, in 2013.
