Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent when we are called to observe 40 days of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter. The special Liturgy for Ash Wednesday includes the imposition of ashes, applied to our foreheads in the sign of the cross.

Throughout Holy Scripture, ashes are a symbol of mortality, death and grief. Whenever you read that someone walks about in “sackcloth and ashes,” you know they are in mourning. On Ash Wednesday, we remember that we are dust and unto dust we shall return.
