Choral Evensong on Palm Sunday

Saint Mark's Cathedral, Seattle 1245 10th AVE E., Seattle, WA

The ancient practice of singing evening prayers is a longstanding practice in many Christian traditions. In English cathedrals, this practice developed, through the centuries, into a special sung service, and today Choral Evensong is a treasure among Christian liturgies and a jewel of the Anglican choral tradition.

Tenebrae

Saint Mark's Cathedral, Seattle 1245 10th AVE E., Seattle, WA

The liturgy of Tenebrae is, for many, a highlight of the liturgical year at Saint Mark’s, with its plainchant psalms and laments and a cappella meditations. The liturgy for Wednesday of Holy Week as we have it today was created by combining elements of three prayer offices, originally appointed for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, containing unique elements that have inspired composers through the centuries. These elements include the chanting of portions of the Book of Lamentations, with its distinctive Hebrew

This Gospel is followed by a Liturgy of Foot Washing, an enactment of Jesus’ gesture of humble service to his followers. At Saint

Holy Saturday Liturgy

Saint Mark's Cathedral, Seattle 1245 10th AVE E., Seattle, WA

But since 2022 it has been offered in the cathedral nave… but in an unfamiliar position within the nave. This change of venue has prompted an expansion and enrichment of the liturgy, with
