About Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, a time of the Christian year focused on self-reflection, repentance, and fasting. Since the time of the early Church, believers have received the sign of the cross via the imposition of ashes on their foreheads. These ashes serve as a reminder of our mortality and the brokenness of the world. We are dust and to dust we shall return. To learn more about Ash Wednesday, click here.
