SALISBURY Cathedral has turned to online platforms to continue worship this and is also offering a virtual tour of the building.

From Monday to Friday at 5pm a Daily Reflection is live streamed and anyone missing a broadcast can catch up via the cathedral's website, and every Sunday, there is a 50-minute pre-recorded service of word and music at 10.30am.

Canon Anna Macham, Canon Precentor said: “The events of Holy Week and Easter are a turning point in our faith, and a turning point in human history. In ordinary times we relive those events through our worship but, while it is still not possible to meet in person, we hope to share the experience virtually, through streamed services offering the opportunity to embark on a life-changing journey together, even though we are apart.

“From Palm Sunday through to Holy Wednesday, we are streaming our Daily Reflection at 17.00. The Reflections will be given by the members of the Bishop’s senior staff team, preparing us for the Easter Triduum, the Great Three Days that stretch form the evening of Maundy Thursday to the eve of Easter Day.

“Alongside that we are also offering the opportunity to undertake a virtual Holy Week Pilgrimage of your own, a digital experience that can be used as part of personal prayer and reflection.”

The Holy Week Pilgrimage is a digital experience created by Patrick Price, the son of a former bishop.

Patrick scanned the entire cathedral, making it available in virtual form to worshippers while the real building is closed. Go to salisburycathedral.org.uk/news/holy-week-pilgrimage

Details of streamed services are also available on the cathedral's website. Last week 100 people watched the Sunday service live and another 1,100 watched it afterwards.
