Seven Reasons to be Joyful 7: Hope
A special service for Easter Day led by the Most Revd Andrew John, Archbishop of Wales, with the Choir of Bangor Cathedral.
On this Easter Day we’ve reached the seventh and final service in our series entitled Reasons to be Joyful centred on St David; it was 900 years ago that he was recognised as patron saint of Wales by Pope Calixtus II. Many will be familiar with St David’s words: 'Be joyful, keep the faith, and do the little things that you have heard and seen in me.’
In this special service from Bangor, the Most Revd Andrew John, Archbishop of Wales explores the theme of Hope and considers how the disciples also kept the faith following the events of the first Easter. Readings are taken from Ezekiel 37:1-10 and Matthew 28: 1- 8.
The Bangor Cathedral Choir is directed by Joe Cooper accompanied by the Cathedral Organist Martin Brown. Hymns and Easter carols include “Christ the Lord is risen again”, “Now the green blade riseth”, “This joyful Eastertide”, “Fe dorrodd y wawr” and “Thine be the glory”.
