The First Sunday in Lent
10:00 a.m. - Great Litany & Holy Eucharist
The Reverend Michael Nailor, Preacher
We begin the First Sunday in Lent chanting the the Great Litany in procession. The Litany was the first English language rite prepared by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. It was first published in 1544. Cranmer modified an earlier litany form by consolidating certain groups of petitions into single prayers with response. The Litany’s use in church processions was ordered by Henry VIII when England was at war with Scotland and France. It was printed as an appendix to the eucharist in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer.
Join Dean Abigail for an hour of instruction, conversation and prayer in the chapel. You may come for one session or the whole series. For planning purposes it is helpful to know that you expect to attend. For more information or to let her know you will be there, please contact Dean Abigail at anestlehutt@philadelphiacathedral.org or by calling (215) 386-0234.
