Daily morning prayer service at Chester Cathedral, held Monday to Saturday at 8.15am.
Morning Prayer is on at Chester Cathedral this Wednesday, 4 November, and it's one of those things that happens every single day here. It runs Monday to Saturday at 8.15am, so if you miss this one, there's another the next morning.
Daily worship is the heart of life at the Cathedral. Every day begins with morning prayer and ends with evening prayer, a pattern that goes back to the Benedictine predecessors of St Werburgh's Abbey. At the core is the Liturgy of the Word, woven through with canticles and followed by intercessory prayer. It's a rhythm that's been around for a long time — by the fourth century, morning and evening were already the most significant times of the day for this.
It's a good way to see the Cathedral when it's doing what it was built for. The building itself is an ancient abbey, an archaeological treasure and a centre of musical excellence that blends medieval and modern history. It's led by The Very Revd Dr Tim Stratford, Dean of Chester, and the Cathedral is working towards being carbon neutral by 2030.
