Ash Wednesday

This is the first day of Lent, 6½ weeks before Easter. This day is a special fast day, especially in the Roman Catholic Church, leading to the fast days of Lent. The name comes from the practice of burning Palm crosses kept from the previous Easter and using the ash to mark a cross on the forehead to symbolize repentance.
