This morning the Christian church around the world marks the beginning of Lent with Ash Wednesday. Lent is a season of reflection as we journey with Jesus towards the cross.

Lent is a 40 day journey beginning with Ash Wednesday and ending on Holy Saturday - the day between the crucifixion on Good Friday and resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. On Ash Wednesday, we specifically reflect on human mortality because of sin and our need for a saviour to come to the world to bring healing and new life.
