ASH WEDNESDAY

for 1 hour
St Peters Church Monks Eleigh
Church Hill Monks Eleigh Ipwich, IP7 7LG, United Kingdom

At our Wednesday Morning Prayer at 10am on 18th February there will be an Ash Wednesday service signalling the beginning of Lent. Our minister will be offering to sign our foreheads with a black cross of ash, ashes made from the previous year's palm leaves. The Ashes symbolise DEATH, REPENTANCE AND PURIFICATION. Ash Wednesday recognises human brokenness and a need for salvation. It is a day for deep introspection on human mortality and our need for spiritual renewal.

Kettlebaston, St Mary
