Ash Wednesday Eucharist

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Chelmsford Cathedral
Duke Street Chelmsford Chelmsford, CM1 1TY, United Kingdom

Traditional choral Eucharist service for Ash Wednesday with the Cathedral Singers.

Ash Wednesday is an important day in the Christian calendar as it marks the first day of Lent, a period of 40 days of reflection and preparation for the celebrations of Easter.

On Ash Wednesday many churches hold services during which people are marked on the forehead with a cross of ashes. This is a sign of saying sorry to God for any wrong-doing.

On the Cathedral’s website (chelmsfordcathedral.org.uk/) you can find out about what goes on here day by day, and how you can get involved. You can also find out about special events, including Advent and Christmas, which we warmly invite you to celebrate with us.
