As we continue through Lent, we begin to look ahead to Palm Sunday this weekend and the start of Holy Week, one of the most significant times in the Christian year. Lent is a season of reflection and preparation, a time to pause, to pray, and to consider the story at the heart of Easter. At Portsmouth Cathedral, you are warmly invited to join us in this journey, whether at one of our services, visiting for private prayer and reflection, or exploring our ’Sanctuary’ Lent exhibition.
