Today is Ash Wednesday, the end of Carnival, and the beginning of Lent.
- There are four opportunities to receive ashes on Wednesday, February 22:7:30 am – Imposition of Ashes in the Chapel.
- 12:00 pm – Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes, hymns and organ.
- 6:00 pm- Liturgia de Miércoles de Ceniza, in the Cathedral.
- 7:30 pm – Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes, with the Cathedral Choir.
Across the country, a number of Episcopal clergy take to the streets on Ash Wednesday to offer ashes to the general public. This is somewhat controversial, with some seeing it as a powerful evangelical outreach, and others seeing it as an empty gesture without a liturgy. What do you think?
