Abstract
A prime number is said to be a Wolstenholme prime if it satisfies the congruence . For such a prime , we establish the expression for given in terms of the sums (. Further, the expression in this congruence is reduced in terms of the sums (). Using this congruence, we prove that for any Wolstenholme prime, Moreover, using a recent result of the author \cite{Me}, we prove that the above congruence implies that a prime necessarily must be a Wolstenholme prime. Applying a technique of Helou and Terjanian \cite{HT}, the above congruence is given as the expression involving the Bernoulli numbers.
