Ash Wednesday Services: Two services are held one in the morning and one in the evening, with imposition of ashes. The Holy Communion is also celebrated.

Holy Week Services: These services commence with Palm Sunday. Two services are held as usual when palm crosses are distributed to the members of the congregation. Usually in the evening new communicants are confirmed in the Cathedral so that they can have their First Communion on Easter Day. Special Holy Week evening services are held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays of the Holy Week.

Maundy Thursday: This service is held in the evening. The service ends without the recessional procession after the Altar is stripped during the singing of the “Story of the Cross”. At the beginning of the Service, there is a “Feet Washing Ceremony” when the feet of twelve parishioners, representing various wings of the Church, are washed by the Presbyter, in commemoration of Jesus washing the feet of his twelve disciples. Church bells are rung before this service and thereafter remain silent till Easter morning. The service is followed by a vigil from 9.00 pm to 1.00 am which is held in the Chapel of the Holy Cross, which is made up to resemble the Garden of Gethsemane. After the Maundy Thursday service all worshippers fellowship together over soup and bread, symbolic of the Last Supper.

Good Friday Services: There is no Holy Communion in the morning. Instead there is a short morning devotion at 7.00 a.m. for about an hour. The main service is the ‘Three Hour Devotion’ from 12.00 noon to 3.00 p.m. There are meditations based on the seven words of Christ on the cross. After the service the congregation fellowships over tea and buttered buns.

Holy Saturday: There is again no Holy Communion at 6.30 am instead there is a short devotion. In the evening there is the “Service of Lighting of the Paschal Candle and Renewal of Baptismal Vows”. There is a special liturgy used for this service. This service commences in darkness symbolizing the gloom of Christ’s tomb and the momentary victory of the powers of darkness. The Paschal Candle is lit by the Presbyter and thereafter all worshippers light their candles from the Paschal Candle, symbolizing the victory of Jesus over death and the subsequent release of all believers from Satan’s grasp and the assurance of salvation. The renewal of baptismal vows takes place.
