Easter Day brings 'life and hope' amid Salisbury Cathedral celebrations
The Eucharist will be sung by the Cathedral choir
Easter Day is being celebrated at Salisbury Cathedral today (Sunday 9th April) with two services.
The Eucharist is being conducted at 10:30am by The Very Revd Nicholas Papadopulos, before the Festal Evansong at 3.00pm.
And while Easter for many of us involves hunting chocolate eggs, it is a Christian holiday of great significance.
The Very Revd Nicholas Papadopulos, The Dean of Salisbury Cathedral explained Easter’s meaning:
“Easter means the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, those historic events which bring life and hope to the whole of humanity.”
The Dean told us that the Cathedral’s principal service, The Eucharist, would be sung by the Cathedral choir with an Easter Egg hunt for small children in the grounds.
