To mark Easter week in Millport, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Choral Evensong will be sung by the choir at 3.00pm in the Cathedral.

On Maundy Thursday the events of that night during Holy Week will be re-enacted with the washing of the feet, the institution of the Holy Communion and the Garden of Gethsemene Watch.

Good Friday will begin with the ecumenical walk of witness from The Cathedral at 11.00am by way of The Church of Our Lady and ending at Cumbrae Parish Church. A service of meditation will begin at 2.00pm and remind everyone of the last hour of Christ’s life.

Easter Eve, Saturday, has perhaps the most magical service of all - the Paschal Vigil. It begins outside with the lighting of the new fire, from which candles are lit, and brought into the darkness of the Cathedral by the congregation, filling it with light to herald Christ’s resurrection.

Easter Sunday is a day of great celebration with a Choral Eucharist at 11.00am led by the Bishop of Argyll and The Isles with the Cathedral Choir. At 3.00pm on Easter Sunday there will be a recital by violinist Feargus Hetherington and Alastair Chisholm, piano, including the famous Bruch Violin Concerto. All are welcome at all events.
