Remember, Man, that Thou art Dust ...

Again, this year, Fr Christopher set about burning last year's Palms, to create the Ash for today's Masses. The strong wind prevented him from using the terrace (as last year), so he opted for the more sheltered region of the courtyard - whence I spied upon him.

Fr Christopher was aided by Fr Slawek, and David Darby from the Archbishop's House print room. Ash was plentifully created, ensuring that there was plenty available for the large corwds that attended Masses today.
