The right has a vertical blue rectangle with the text: “Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent - a season of reflection, fasting, and penitence, which ends with the celebrations of Easter. Many Christians attend services to receive ash on their foreheads - a sign of repentance. The ashes are prepared by burning palm leaves from the previous year's Palm Sunday service.”. Mae dydd Mercher y Lludw yn nodi dechrau’r Garawys – tymor o fyfyrio, ymprydio, ac edifeirwch, sy’n gorffen gyda dathliadau’r Pasg. Mae llawer o Gristnogion yn mynychu gwasanaethau i dderbyn lludw ar eu talcennau - arwydd o edifeirwch. Mae'r llwch yn cael ei baratoi trwy losgi dail palmwydd o wasanaeth Sul y Blodau y flwyddyn flaenorol.”

ALT My photo shows a small figurine of an amber bear carved some 10,000 years ago during the Mesolithic period. The bear is seen in profile facing right. The legs are incomplete. The ears, muzzle, and mouth are defined. The figurine is displayed on a small metal stand. The display lighting shines on the bear’s head and neck enhancing the translucence of the orange amber. The neck of the bear has a polished groove indicating it was once suspended on a cord or string. Length 6.5cm. The Fanø bear is one of a small number of amber bear figurines from the Baltic Sea region which have been assigned to the Mesolithic period by means of a typo-chronological approach. It was found in 1991 on a beach on the west coast of the Danish island of Fanø, located off the south-western coast of Jutland.
