A Good Friday Meditation
Friday, April 3rd at 3:00 PM
Enrich this season of reverence and contemplation with a special Good Friday meditation at the Cathedral of St. John in downtown Albuquerque. On Friday, April 3, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the Cathedral will present the New Mexico premiere of Via Crucis (The Way of the Cross) by British composer Philip Moore.
This powerful and contemplative work weaves together deeply reflective prayers by Eric Milner-White with expressive organ meditations composed by Moore. The Cathedral’s Dean and Rector, Kristina Ann Maulden, will serve as narrator, and Director of Cathedral Music, Maxine Thevenot, will perform the organ score.
The music ranges from hushed introspection to dramatic intensity, offering a profound meditation on the Passion of Christ. The interplay between spoken word and organ creates a cohesive spiritual journey through the Stations of the Cross.
Enhancing this year’s presentation is a significant visual arts collaboration: fifteen local artists have each created an original work inspired by one of the Stations. Each piece will be displayed alongside its corresponding prayer and musical meditation, creating a multi-sensory experience that unites word, music, and image. The integration of these contemporary visual interpretations adds new depth to this ancient devotional tradition.
This unique artistic offering invites the community into a sacred space of reflection, reverence, and creative expression during the solemn observance of Good Friday.
Admission: $25 for adults; free for full-time students with ID. Tickets are available at fcmabq.org or at the door.
Location: 318 Silver Ave SW, downtown Albuquerque.
Parking: Free parking is available in Cathedral lots, on surrounding streets, and in the adjacent MFA lot.
