Ash Wednesday
Today the Church marks the start of Lent, the season of 40 days leading up to Holy Week and Good Friday, the day when Jesus died on the Cross. It’s a time of self-examination, repentance and self-denial as we seek to grow in faith. There will be services at St John’s Cathedral today at morning, midday and evening. Ashes will be used as a sign of mourning and repentance.
