Ash Wednesday and Lent

Ash Wednesday & Lent

Wednesday 14th February 

This marks the beginning of 40 days of fasting and prayer for Christians in the lead up to Easter.

A time of reflection, remembrance and dedication to God, Christians now observe the forty days Jesus spent in the desert by

giving up something they usually enjoy for their Lenten sacrifice.
