The Solemn Liturgy of Good Friday is an extended reflection on the events and meaning of Jesus' crucifixion. It includes the Veneration of the Cross, a reflective series of prayers for repentance and forgiveness, and the chanting of the Gospel of the Passion by the Choir of Trinity Wall Street. On this day alone the Holy Eucharist is not celebrated (communion from the reserved sacrament is available on Friday morning at 8am in All Saints' Chapel).
This service commemorates Jesus’ last meal with his friends and his commission to service in the ritual of footwashing. It concludes by preparing the church for Good Friday.
The Office of Tenebrae is sung by the Choir of Trinity Wall Street. During the service of Tenebrae, candles are gradually extinguished while a series of readings and psalms are chanted or recited. Followed by an Agape Supper in the Manning Room (Trinity Church).
