Holy Communion with Ashing

for 1 hour
St Margaret's
Downs Road South Wonston Winchester, SO21 3EH, United Kingdom

Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence. From the Middle Ages it became the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross.

Ash Wednesday, the sixth Wednesday before Easter, marks the beginning of Lent. It is now usual, in the West, to count the forty days of Lent continuously to the end of Holy Week (not including Sundays), beginning on Ash Wednesday.

Rev'd Rob Rees and Rev'd Jo Criscenti lead this special service of Holy Communion with Ashing at St Margaret's. All are welcome.
