All are welcome to join us as we mark the beginning of Lent, with music sung by the Cathedral Choir and a sermon preached by The Rt Revd Stephen Lake, Bishop of Salisbury. At the service, those attending will have crosses marked on their foreheads with ash. Our probationer (trainee) choristers helped to prepare the ash this year, which was made by burning Palm Crosses from last year’s Palm Sunday services.
This service begins on Choristers’ Green, where palm crosses are distributed and blessed, before moving to the West Front of the Cathedral, recalling the procession of Jesus into Jerusalem on a donkey. In the service, we also hear the account of Jesus’ betrayal and abandonment, crucifixion and death from the Gospel according to Luke.
