@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne Thank you for all your are doing, Clive. Today in Worcester Cathedral as part of our Ash Wednesday service our choir sung Shchedryk to show solidarity with all Ukrainians. This has been shared with schools across Kyiv. We are keeping you and all journalists in our thoughts, too. https://t.co/Zd0lYbS2OT

The absolute best bit of the three Ash Wednesday liturgies I’ve led today was the lady who, as I said “turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ”, whispered “I’ll try” 🥺🥰

Ash Wednesday in 2022

Ash Wednesday is mainly a Catholic observance in which ashes are marked on the forehead of parishioners in the shape of a cross. The ashes are meant as a reminder of our mortality and sinfulness.
