So you just pray at a chapel altar?

Yeah, unless it's been over three days in the game since you contracted the disease. If it's been over three days then read this:

Quest - A Cure for Vampirism
Part I – Initiating the Quest: There are a number of ways to initiate this quest. You should be able to start it in any Chapel, or via the Dark Brotherhood. I went to Cheydinhal's Chapel of Arkay and talked to the first person I could find about a cure for vampirism. So it beings…
Part II – Gathering Information: You will be told that Raminus Polus has been doing some research on a cure, and that you should talk to him on any leads he may have. You can find him in the Arcane University located in Imperial City. He will tell you a bit about a cure, and refer you to Count Hassildor of Skingrad for more information. Talk to his Argonian servant, who will go retrieve the count for you. It takes a minute for her to get back, so be patient. Once you meet the count, he will explain to you that he and his wife were both bitten. While he has learned to life with it, she refused to feed, and went into a coma. He wants the cure for his wife, and therefore gives you what little information he has regarding a cure. He will tell you about witches long ago that could make the cure, and about one of them which may still be alive.
Part III – Grand Soul Gems: You can find the witch, Melisandra, along the Corbolo River, which is east of the Imperial City. Here is where the fun begins. Before she will help you, you have to help her. She requests you bring her five empty grand soul gems. Though the task may seem daunting, these are easy to find. Inside each Mages guild, there is a shop. Each shop should have one empty Grand Soul Gem for sell. Buy it, or if your good at thievery, pickpocket it. If for some reason these shops do not have Gems, here are a few more places they can be found, though they will be a bit trickier to get.
You can find one for sale in the Mystique shop in Imperial City. Three more can be found in the Arcane University. It requires picking a level 5 lock, so I hope your skilled at this. It is best to go at night where you won't be seen. Go inside, and on the first floor there is a chest with three Gems inside. All are Grand gems, but I believe two of them are not empty. Take them all anyways, the full ones will fetch you a good amount of gold. For another gem, head to the Chorral Mage's Guild. Inside, there is a staircase, and display cases to the left and right. The one to the right looks tempting, three gems inside. None are grand though, save your picks. The one the left has one. It's another level 5 lock, so good luck to you.
Part IV – Gathering Ingredients: Go visit Melisande again now. She will take your gems, but you aren't done yet. She says she can probably make the cure, but you need a slew of ingredients. She asks you to find six Garlic Cloves, five Nightshade Leaves, 2 BloodGrass Shoots, The Blood of an Argonian, and the dust of the vampire Hindaril. Below you will find locations to all ingredients.
Garlic Cloves: These are somewhat difficult to find. Alchemy shops, Inns, and Mages Guilds have them, but it seems only a hanful of them carry Garlic, and not all of them restock. Just work your way from shop to shop until you have six. It will be time consuming, but you should be able to find it.
Nightshade: You should be able to take care of all five Nightshade in one go. Go to The Main Ingredient in Imperial City. He should have five. Incase he doesn't, I was also able to find two at the Mystique Emporium in Imperial City, as well as in various Mage's Guild shops.
BloodGrass: This is the easiest part of your quest. Both The Main Ingredient and the Mystique Emporium in Imperial City have four, so take your pick. If you want to find it in the wild, it is all over Oblivion, so find yourself a gate and you should be able to come across BloodGrass pretty quickly.
Blood of an Argonian: Melisande gives you a special dagger or this. You don't need to kill them, just give them a good stab and hide so the guards don't nab you. For those of you who don't know, an Argonian is the lizard looking people.
Hindaril's Vampire Dust: If you are at a decent level by now, this should be a breeze. At level 5, this was a cakewalk. Go to the location on your map. It is pretty straightforward navigating your way there. Once inside the cavern, you will have a few things to pick off before you get to your vampire. I ran into a few rats, a few skeletons, and two lesser vampires before I got to him. I made short work of them all. Hindaril was the easiest of them all though. He was sleeping, and I was able to kill him before he even got to his weapon. I made short work of him. If he manages to get to his weapon, he may be more difficult, so don't bother with sneaking around, just run in and kill him.
Part V – The Cure: So, you now have everything. Take it all back to Melisandre. She will tell you she can prepare the cure, and to come back in 24 hours. This is it. Go enjoy your last night as a Vampire. Feast on everyone you can get your bloody hands on. Then go take a nap. The next day, pay your friend a visit again. The cure will be done. Feel free to drink it. You are now officially cured, but your quest isn't over. Remember the count? Head back to Skingrad and pay him a visit. You will be taken to the place where his wife rests. Melisandre will be there also. After a bit of dialogue, he gives her the cure, but it kills her. He requests you give him 24 hours to grieve. Go back into the Count's Mansion and just wait for 24 hours. Same as before, talk to The Count, it's time for your reward. One thing to keep in mind, The Count will pay you more the higher his disposition is. If your good with the speech craft mini-game, then use that to max his disposition. Otherwise, bribe him, it's worth it. Your reward will be 2500 gold. That's it, your now officially finished, and can put this nasty quest behind you.
