April 10, Good Friday, is a solemn day marking the crucifixion of Jesus. At 12 pm, the Cathedral will live stream its Good Friday observance, with the reading of the Passion, prayers, and a short homily. On the following day, April 11, Holy Saturday, service will be streamed at 12 pm, using the Book of Common Prayer
