Key Points

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday 22nd February and ends at the Easter Tridium, Maundy Thursday Evening 5th April.

From Ash Wednesday to the following Saturday, week 4 of the Psalter is used, this is not classed as the first week of Lent

The following week Sunday 26th Feb – Saturday 3rd March is week 1 of Lent, and the Psalter for week 1 is used.

Throughout Lent for ordinary ferial days, and memoria days, there are hymns for Lent, followed by the Psalms and canticle from the Psalter, and then the remainder of the office is from the proper of the season.

Memoria days are always celebrated as a commemoration, when the appropriate the Benedictus or Magnificat antiphon, and the concluding prayer from the proper of saints are substituted.

There are no Alleluias said during Lent, and on Evening Prayer II of Sundays the Lent alternative 3rd Canticle is used.
