7 Hills liverpool
easter prayer
5th April 2026
Liverpool is often compared to Rome because it is traditionally said to be built across seven hills, a reflection of how its early development followed higher ground overlooking the River Mersey.
While the exact hills are less formally defined than Rome’s, the idea highlights Liverpool’s layered geography and long history shaped by settlement, trade, and defence.
Everyone is invited to come a pray at one of the hills on Easter Sunday
