NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The sign of the cross made using ashes on the foreheads of those partaking in Ash Wednesday services, symbolizing mortality and God’s forgiveness.

Christ Church Cathedral took its Ash Wednesday message beyond the walls of the church, drawing dozens of attendees.

Delivering the sermon was Assistant Curate at Christ Church Cathedral, Father Eric Miller.

During the Lenten season, many use the period as a time of discipline to rid themselves of things they enjoy or poor habits, but Rector at Christ Church Cathedral, Dean Harry Bain says it is also an opportunity to take on Christ-like habits.
