DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday is the first day of the season of Lent.  This is
  a time of preparation characterised by penitence\, fasting and prayer in 
 which the Christian church prepares for the celebration of  Christ's death
  and resurrection in Holy Week and at Easter.\n\nIn the story of Jesus' li
 fe\, he had supper with his friends on the night before he died on the cro
 ss. At this supper\, he told them to share bread and wine to remember him.
  Ever since\, Christians have gathered in the same way to celebrate our fa
 ith.\n\nChristians have many names for this celebration – the Eucharist\
 , the Lord's Supper\, the Mass\, Holy Communion – but whatever we call i
 t\, it remains at the centre of all our worship.\n\nWhat can I expect?\n\n
 This service includes choral music\, hymn singing and lasts around an hour
 . As well as the opportunity receive bread and wine\, there is also the op
 portunity to receive the sign of the cross on your forehead with ash.\n\nI
 f you receive communion in your own church\, you are welcome to receive co
 mmunion here. If you do not normally receive communion\, you are invited t
 o come forward and receive a blessing.\n\nYou do not have to be a practici
 ng member of the Church of England to attend. If you are unfamiliar with t
 he service\, you can pick up an easy-to-follow order of service at the beg
 inning\, which will guide you through each part.
