Ash Wednesday

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

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the penitential Lenten season which is commonly observed with ashes. During the Service our priest will places ashes on a worshipper's forehead in the shape of a cross. it is a solemn reminder of human mortality and the need for reconciliation with God. The ashes have been obtained by burning the palms from the previous Palm Sunday.
The Monks Eleigh Benefice will be holding its Ash Wednesday Service at the time of our usual Wednesday Morning Prayers which will be at 10am and the service will be held on Wednesday 22nd February 2023.
