Ash Wednesday marks the first day, or the start of the season of Lent, which begins 40 days prior to Easter (Sundays are not included in the count).
Lent is a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline.
During our Ash Wednesday service, the minister will lightly rub the sign of the cross with ashes onto the foreheads of worshipers.
