At the Three Hours Service, we commemorate the three hours that Christ suffered on the cross. We hear again the story of Judas’ betrayal, Jesus’ arrest and trial, and Peter’s denial of Jesus, before we reach Jesus’ crucifixion and death. During this time, music is interspersed between contemplative reflections, prayers and silences.
Timings:
- 12noon: The Passion according to St Mark.
- 1.15pm: Music at the Foot of the Cross
- 1:45pm: The Liturgy of Good Friday.
Evening Prayer at the Pieta is at 3.15pm.
All are welcome, no booking required. This service will be taking place in the Nave of Durham Cathedral.
Good Friday is the most solemn day of the Christian year. You are welcome to join any of our services, otherwise access is very limited. The Undercroft Café, shop and museum are all closed.
