Easter and Holy Week

Welcome > Exploring Faith > Easter and Holy Week

Journey with Us Through the Most Sacred Season

Join us this April as we walk together through Holy Week and into the joy of Easter—honouring the final days of Jesus’ life and celebrating the hope of resurrection at the heart of the Christian faith.

From moments of quiet contemplation to moving liturgies filled with symbolism, this sacred journey invites you to reflect, pray, and reconnect with the heart of the Easter story—set within the awe-inspiring space of Liverpool Cathedral.


Maundy Thursday: Liturgy of the Last Supper

Thursday 17 April
Experience one of the most moving services of Holy Week. Through foot-washing, Eucharist, and the beginning of the Vigil Watch, we reflect on Jesus’ call to love and serve one another.
