Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. It gets its name from the practice of ‘ashing’: marking the forehead of each worshipper with the sign of the cross in ash, as a remembrance of our mortality, while the priest says to each person, ‘Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.’
We hear Thomas Tallis’ setting of In ieiunio et fletu.
Preacher: The Revd Mary Hancock
