Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week and the Sunday before Easter Day. On this day, we commemorate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and reflect upon the Passion story.

Procession and Eucharist for Palm Sunday, 10.30am 
The service begins outside the Minster with the blessing of palm crosses before the congregation, led by a donkey, processes into the cathedral as a reminder of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. The service then turns from triumph to sorrow as the Choir of York Minster sings the Passion Gospel, marking the beginning of Jesus’ journey towards the cross.

Choral Evensong, 4pm 
A service of Choral Evensong which prepares us for our walk with Christ through Holy Week.

Stainer’s Crucifixion, 7.30pm
The Ebor Singers, an associate choir of York Minster, will perform John Stainer’s Crucifixion. The work incorporates congregational hymns with a recounting of the passion of Christ.
