Easter Video Messages

The Archbishop of York has recorded three video messages in preparation for Easter which include short reflections for Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday.

The Archbishop said:

"It is important that we get the good news of Easter out to as many people as possible. It is about Jesus’s love and sacrifice for us, but also His resurrection – and an opportunity for new life.

“Good Friday is knowing that God is at work in our everyday lives.   There is nowhere God will not go to make a difference and that is the good news for Good Friday. On Holy Saturday, I will be baptising people who want to make a fresh start with God outside the steps of York Minster. In the evening a vigil is held in the Minster starting at 8.30pm. The Easter fire and Paschal Candle are alight and joyful noise is made to welcome the Resurrection of Christ. People bring all sorts of instruments to make a joyful noise. We then have a service of confirmation. What a joy!"

“Easter is a fantastic time to commit to God, and it’s never too late to do it. The challenge is to make the world the place God wants it to become, and it’s a challenge for you and me”.
