Pentecost        

The feast of Pentecost remembers how the early Christians took their message onto the streets with enthusiasm and energy. Pentecost Celebrations want to capture something of that same spirit of celebration.  People from across Merseyside normally gather in Hope Street to celebrate the Christian Festival of Pentecost. Inspired by the Pope’s visit to the city in 1982, this event has become a regular annual feature of life in Liverpool.

‘One Church’, Many Nations, Journeying Together in Hope


‘The Pentecost Joint afternoon Service last year entitled ‘One Church, Many Nations’ was a truly happy and joyful occasion attended by 350-400 people.

Bishop John gave a short address at Liverpool Cathedral encouraging us to be a church that embraces the challenge of treating people of all cultures and walks of life equally.

The journey along Hope Street was a colourful occasion with a considerable collection of national flags, colourful vestments and giant puppets.

Bystanders were intrigued by the sight with some joining in for the final part of the walk and service. The conclusion of the service on the steps of the Metropolitan Cathedral brought everyone together in prayer and celebration.

There was a real sense of unity and togetherness with games, dancing and music at the finish. Even the ice cream man left in a happy mood having had a steady trail of customers on such a warm and sunny afternoon.‘
