(Childcare available)

On Good Friday, we remember Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross. Many churches may mark the hours of the day through the Stations of the Cross, a Tenebrae service, or reading the Passion Readings.

Liturgy of the Passion

Like on Palm Sunday, churches may read the Passion Narrative as a dramatic reading combined with prayer and music.

Collect

Almighty God, we beseech you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the Cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (BCP, 2019)
