Palm Sunday Procession

for 2 hours, 30 mins
St Albans Cathedral
Sumpter Yard, St Albans, AL1 1BY, United Kingdom

On Palm Sunday we recall Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. The crowd waved palm leaves and covered his path with them. Today, we remember this with crosses made from palm leaves and our services throughout the day will include the blessing of palms.

8am | Eucharist
9.30am | Eucharist with Procession of Palms
Meet by the Clock Tower on the High Street, ready to set off for the procession to the Cathedral. Bring a branch or some greenery from home to wave as we walk and recall Jesus's journey to Jerusalem.

11.15am | Choral Eucharist with Blessing of Palms (the service begins in the Nave)
6pm | Palm Sunday Choral Evensong sung by the Cathedral Choir.

St Albans Cathedral

St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain and stands over the place where Alban, Britain's first saint, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago. Down the centuries, countless pilgrims have come to honour the saint’s sacrifice and offer their prayers at his shrine – and they still come in their thousands today.

St Albans Cathedral is open, we look forward to welcoming you very soon. Please visit our website for more information: www.stalbanscathedral.org
