Westminster Cathedral
Annual Red Mass

A centuries-old tradition, the Red Mass is a votive Mass of the Holy Spirit offered on the first day of the new legal year each October in Westminster Cathedral with music from the world-famous choir. Before the Reformation, the Red Mass took place at Westminster Abbey. It revived in 1893 and eventually moved to the Cathedral. Other common law jurisdictions adopted the Red Mass tradition, notably the United States of America, where the President attends. Judges, counsel and solicitors attend in court dress. The scarlet robes worn by High Court judges and the use of scarlet vestments for votive Masses of the Holy Spirit give the Red Mass its name.
