Ash Wednesday begins the holy Season of Lent, the period of preparation for Easter.
It gets its name from the custom of receiving on our foreheads a cross in ash as a sign of turning afresh to Christ and away from sin.
Lent is, therefore, a season in which to live the Christian life with renewed vigour —not as a 40-day effort, but as training to carry forward into the rest of the year.
