Marking Holy Week and Easter Day at Chichester Cathedral

“These sacred days offer an opportunity to reflect on the final days of Jesus' life, from his triumphant entry on Palm Sunday to his resurrection on Easter Day,” a spokesman said.

“The Cathedral’s services for Holy Week and Easter will bring the ancient rituals of the Church to life, with many events being livestreamed to reach those unable to attend in person.”
