This service comprises a sequence of readings, music, and prayers. In some respects, it is like a Christmas Carol Service in structure, but this narrative tells the story of the events of Holy Week up to the crucifixion, death, and burial of the Lord Jesus Christ. It includes some of the most powerful music of the season, and is a powerful and moving way to prepare for the days ahead.
