Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. Lent is a season when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation, and spiritual discipline.
Ash Wednesday emphasizes two themes: our sinfulness before God and our human mortality. The service focuses on both themes, helping us to realize that both have been triumphed over through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
During Ash Wednesday service, ashes will be lightly rubbed in the sign of the cross onto the foreheads of worshipers. This ash cross is an outward sign of our sorrow and repentance for sins.
