Join us at Portsmouth Cathedral for The Three Hours on Good Friday, a time of deep reflection on the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. This solemn service, led by The Very Revd Jane Hedges, will be structured around meditations, prayer, silence, and music, guiding us through the final moments of Jesus' earthly life.

This year, our reflections will be shaped by Dieterich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri, a moving musical meditation on the Body of Christ. As we contemplate the broken heart of Jesus, we will consider the depth of his love and the cost of redemption, preparing our hearts for the hope of Easter.

The traditional Good Friday liturgy includes a retelling of the story of Jesus' Passion and concludes with the opportunity to receive the Sacrament consecrated at the Maundy Thursday Eucharist of the Last Supper. Music will be sung by the Cathedral Choir.

Preaching of the Passion – 12pm–2pm
Liturgy of the Passion – 2pm–3pm
