Lenten season begins

Today Ash Wednesday begins the Lenten journey for Christians in Barbados and around the world. Believers are expected to observe the Lenten period with self-sacrifice, and other religious activities leading up to Easter - the day believed to be when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Services are being held throughout the day across the various Christian denominations. From as early as 6:30 this morning, worshippers converged at the St. Dominic's Roman Catholic Church in Maxwell, Christ Church where prayers were offered by Father Andy Nyga. He wants the Lenten season to be one where people return to the Father.
