Ash Wednesday
It 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. |
What is Lent? Lent is a season of the Christian Calendar for preparation to Easter.
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.

Miércoles de ceniz
Miércoles de ceniza es una tradición desde el siglo VIII en que los católicos de todo el mundo reciben las cenizas benditas hechas de las palmas del domingo de Ramos del año pasado. Las cenizas representan:
1, Nuestra mortalidad
2. Llamado al arrepentimiento
3. Inicio de la Cuaresma
4. Tiempo de ayuno y abstinencia de carne.

"Polvo eres, y al polvo volverás" ~Genesis 3.19~ |
✝️ La ceniza, en la tradición bíblica, es un signo profundo de humildad, arrepentimiento y conversión 🙏
La ceniza no es un simple símbolo externo… es una invitación interior a la conversión del corazón ➕
