Ash Wednesday: Sung Eucharist with the Imposition of Ashes

Date Time Location
Wednesday, 5th March 20255.00pmThe Abbey

Ash Wednesday marks the start of the season of Lent in the church. Join us for a penitential service, where we receive a mark of ashes as a reminder that we are created from dust, and to dust we will one day return.

The service includes readings, hymns, and a sermon. It will be sung by the Choir of Westminster Abbey.

Music includes:

  • Byrd Mass for four voices
  • Allegri Miserere mei Deus
  • Byrd Memento homo
