Ash Wednesday
It is an old tradition from the eighth century in which the Catholics around the world receive blessed ashes made from the palms of last year’s Palm Sunday. The ashes represents:
1. Our mortality
2. Call us to repentance
3. Beginning of Lent
4. Fast and abstain from meat
"You are dust and to dust you shall return." ~Genesis 3.19~
Since Lent always starts on a Wednesday, the day before is always called Mardi Gras. It means "Fat Tuesday" because it is associated with great food and parties. |
When is Lent? It is the forty days before Easter. Lent excludes Sundays because every Sunday is like a little Easter. Mardi Gras is the day before Lent, which begins with Ash Wednesday.
How to celebrate lent? This year, lent is from February 22nd (Ash Wednesday) to April 9th (Easter), 2023. Join in forty days of fasting, praying and almsgiving.
