Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of
the season of Lent. This is the day when Roman Catholics traditionally
apply an ashen cross on their foreheads. Marking with ash is a symbolic
reminder that we come from the dust and that
so much of what we do, and are, will return to dust one day.
You may use the ashes to make a
cross on your forehead, or merely hold some in your hands to get a feel
for it. Lent is about remembering why Jesus died. He died because we
think and do evil things. These things anger God,
and such evil is destined to be reduced to ash one day.
