Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent.
Lent is a 40-day season (not counting Sundays) which represents Christ’s time of temptation in the wilderness, where he fasted and where Satan tempted him. Lent is a time for Christians to spend time reflecting on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection.
At our Ash Wednesday service we say sorry to God for the wrong things we have done and prepare to observe Lent. Those who wish to can be marked with the sign of the cross on their forehead as a visual representation of repentance.
