Ash Wednesday Lunchtime Eucharist

Date: Wed, 18th Feb 2026 12:30 - 13:15
Venue: Leicester Cathedral
All are welcome to our Lunchtime Eucharist on Ash Wednesday, said in traditional language.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. This is a season of preparation characterised by penitence, fasting, and prayer in which the Christian church prepares for the celebration of Christ's death and resurrection in Holy Week and at Easter.
During the service, you will be invited to receive the sign of the cross in ash on your forehead as a symbol of penitence.
