Ash Wednesday
is a
centuries-old tradition, dating back to the 8th century. On this day, Catholics
around the world receive blessed
ashes, made from the palms used in last year’s Palm Sunday.
The ashes remind us of:
1.
Our mortality
2.
A call to repentance
3. The beginning of Lent
4. Fasting and abstaining 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
14th (Ash Wednesday) to March 31sy. (Easter), 2024. Join in forty days of
fasting, praying and almsgiving.
