It's Shrove Tuesday next week, traditionally the start of Lent.

Canary Wharf's Revd Dr Fiona Stewart-Darling talks Ash Wednesday and Easter

Within the Christian Calendar there is a period of forty days called Lent.

It begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Easter Sunday. Most people seem to be aware of Lent and they often tell me what they're giving up.

Two Christian events will be held at Canary Wharf next Wednesday to celebrate the beginning of Lent.

Both a lunchtime service at the prayer room in Churchill Mall and an early evening Roman Catholic mass at Barclays with the Archbishop of Westminster will take place.
