Good Friday
April 15, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The Good Friday liturgy consists of three parts: the Liturgy of the Word, the veneration of the cross, and communion from the reserved Sacrament. The Good Friday Liturgy of the Word lacks an entrance rite and begins immediately with the collect and readings. It is followed by the veneration of the cross. This is a ceremony brought home by pilgrims from Jerusalem, where, as the fourth century pilgrim Egeria tells us, the true cross was displayed at what was believed to be the actual site of the crucifixion for the faithful to venerate. The final part of the Good Friday liturgy, communion from the reserved Sacrament, is also called the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.
