In Holy Week which leads up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his resurrection at Easter, churches in Glasgow’s West End have a series of services to mark the momentous events.
All united services, they start on Monday 18 April in Hyndland Church. Next day the service will be in Lansdowne, followed by Kelvinside Hillhead church on Wednesday. Maundy Thursday when the Last Supper was held, will be in Wellington Church crypt and will be a communion service. Good Friday will have a vigil in Kelvinside Hillhead Church from 12 noon till 3pm with a service in St John’s Renfield Church at 7pm- the time all the services will be held.
