Informacion en español: https://adw.org/event/ash-wednesday-m... Follow along with the readings here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/reading... Every Ash Wednesday, Catholics around the world will fast and have ashes sprinkled upon them as a symbol of repentance and conversion to begin Lent. This day begins the 40-day penitential period of Lent before the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead at Easter. The imposition of ashes on the head is an ancient tradition found in the Old Testament. Once a public sign of an individual’s repentance, it became part of the Church’s Lenten preparations by the seventh century. People of all faiths are invited to receive ashes, made from the palm branches from last year’s Palm Sunday Mass, as a reminder of our need for mercy and forgiveness. The Light is On for you this Lent in the Archdiocese of Washington! Experience the healing mercy and love of God at our Catholic churches, open for quiet prayer and confessions throughout Lent.
