Lent and Easter
 

Lent 

The 40 days before Easter are called "Lent". An opportunity to give time to God and reflection. Not just to give up something.

Holy Week and Easter

We remember and celebrate the transforming love of God and his action through Jesus Christ's death on the cross, mending our broken relationship with him. Many services use the image of light breaking through darkness. 

Follow the church links on the coronavirus page to find out what is happening in Guildford churches to celebrate Easter including services on YouTube and Zoom, those you can attend in person, and churches open for private prayer.    

Holy Week is the week before Easter starting with Palm Sunday which marks Christ's ride into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. In previous years, St Mary's has had an Easter Walkway the length of the church and is likely to do so again. 

Many events take place on Maundy Thursday, the day of the "Last Supper", when Christ shared bread and wine with his disciples. 

On Good Friday we commemorate Christ's death on the cross .  

Easter Sunday celebrates his resurrection.  Please go to our coronavirus page for links to the churches in the Guildford area.

Please also check the calendar (see under Resources) for details and information of other events which will be added as it comes in.
