Winding up the carnival season!

Hamburg being a serious minded Hanseatic sort of place doesn't do carnivals in the run up to Lent, though there have been a few brave efforts - or as much as can be achieved on ice!

But Lent begins here too, with Ash Wednesday, 17th February. A Eucharist with Penitential Rite will be held at 19:00 at St Thomas Becket's.
A good way to start a period of reflection on what the journey to the Cross means.
