In the Christian Faith Ash Wednesday is the start of the season of Lent, 40 days leading up to Easter. It is often marked by people having an ash cross placed on their foreheads. Lent is traditionally a time of fasting and reflection and often people will give up or take up something over the period.
Anyone will be made most welcome at any of the special services listed as we kick start the season.
