Good Friday Tre Ore St. James Cathedral observes the traditional Good Friday devotion of Tre Ore ("Three Hours") in which we remember the last words of Christ proclaimed from the cross. These brief exclamations from Jesus alternate with Alessandro Scarlatti's Stabat Mater and meditations by Father Stephen Rowan on the Seven Last Words of Christ. Music is offered by the women of the Cathedral Cantorei and the Cathedral Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Joseph Adam. This liturgy is open to all—no tickets required. A freewill offering will be taken up during the service. If you can't attend in-person, you can view the livestream here, or on the Cathedral Facebook (@stjamesseattle) or Vimeo page.
