ASH WEDNESDAY AND THE OBSERVANCE OF LENT

Ash Wednesday and the observance of Lent as we know it came into existence somewhere between the fifth and eighth centuries. Forty is the number of days our Lord fasted in the wilderness, like the forty-day fasts of Moses and Elijah which are recorded in the Old Testament. Thus Ash Wednesday is now forty-six days before Easter (forty weekdays). The tradition of fasting during Lent mirrors that of our Lord. In the Book of Common Prayer, Ash Wednesday is described as a ‘Greater Fast’, one of two, with Good Friday being the other. The ashes used on Ash Wednesday are obtained by burning the palms of the previous year (now the palm crosses).
Lent is a season when we pray for God’s compassion, and we should also show compassion to others. In modern times we are equally encouraged to ‘take something on’ as ‘give something up’.

Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top.

Habitats & Heritage is coordinating the conservation of the Bazalgette Mausoleum at St Mary's, Wimbledon. This fascinating building is in need of repair and maintenance. The broader project also incorporates new research, the production of educational resources, and working with communities to better understand our impact on the water system. Come and meet the Bazalgette Team on Sunday 25th January in Garden Hall between 10:30 and 12:00. We would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you have at this early stage of the project.
