This year the feast day of St George falls on 28 April 2025.
Why will the Church celebrate St George’s Day on a different day this year?🤔

ALT St George’s Day: Along with many other churches, we don't keep saints’ days during Easter Week. When St George’s Day or St Mark’s Day falls between Palm Sunday and the Second Sunday of Easter inclusive, it is transferred to the Monday after the Second Sunday of Easter. If both fall in this period, St George’s Day is transferred to the Monday and St Mark’s Day to the Tuesday. That means that this year, St George's Day falls on 28 April 2025.
Join us @MagdCollChapel @MagdCollChoir for the 11am Easter Sunday Choral Eucharist. The service is free, open to the public, and all are very welcome!
You're invited to church this Sunday as we celebrate Easter Day.

Today is #MaundyThursday when we remember the Last Supper.
The name comes from the Latin word 'mandatum' - to command - recalling the words of Jesus to his disciples: 'I give you a new commandment, that you love one another'

Today is Maundy Thursday, where we remember Jesus sharing the Last Supper, and washing the feet of his disciples.
The word 'Maundy' comes from the Latin word 'mandatum', which means 'command'.
You can read more about Jesus' command for us to love one another in John 13.

This #HolyWeek, hear Thomas Tallis' masterpiece, The Lamentations of Jeremiah (part one), sung by members of the Abbey Choir.
In the 16th century, Tallis set five verses of the Biblical book of Lamentations to music. His exquisite, mournful pair of motets have been a much-loved musical choice for choirs and churches around the world ever since.
During Holy Week, when Christians remember Jesus Christ's suffering and death, the Lamentations are often sung in Tenebrae services or on Good Friday. The grief expressed in the Lamentations gives voice to our sorrow as we remember Christ's passion.
You can watch the full recording and find out more about the Lamentations - including the text and translation - at: youtu.be/AvV07HjbQPE
