Ash Wednesday (18th February)
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, a period of reflection and penance as we prepare to meet the Risen Christ on Easter Day.
Traditionally, the church has marked this day with communion, repentence and the imposition of the sign of the cross in ash on our forehead, to ‘remember we are dust and to dust we shall return’.
There will be two services of communion and imposition of ashes at St Marks, at 10am and 7pm. All welcome.
