VATICAN CITY, FEB 24, 2006 (VIS) - At 4.30 p.m. on March 1, Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, Benedict XVI will preside at a moment of prayer in the Church of St. Anselm on Rome's Aventine Hill. There will follow a penitential procession to the Basilica of Santa Sabina attended by cardinals, archbishops, bishops, the Benedictine monks of St. Anselm, the Dominican Fathers of Santa Sabina and the lay faithful.
Following the procession, a Eucharistic celebration will be held in the Basilica of Santa Sabina, with the traditional rite of blessing and the imposition of the ashes. This renews the ancient Lenten tradition of the Church of Rome of celebrating Mass in designated "station" or churches.
