In this talk I will discuss (a variation of) Mazur's modular symbol, and its application to the study of special values of L- functions associated to cusp forms. In particular p-adic aspects of the special L-values are revealed by modular symbols, and those are, at least conjecturally, related to arithmetic questions.
