40 Hours Exposition

Exposition during 40 hours at Lancaster Cathedral 

A slight break from our objects to tell readers about our 40 Hours of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.  All are welcome to come and join us as we celebrate 40 hours exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.  See below for the timetable of services and times of shared prayer. 

During this time, the monstrance (from the Latin monstrare, to show) is placed on the altar with the Host (the Body of Christ) inside. Members of the parish take turns to pray before the Lord, so there is forty hours prayer (spread over four days) in His presence.
