Ash Wednesday 2023

 

Ash Wednesday 2023 

Ash Wednesday in 2023 will be on March 1st. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, which is a period of 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday. On this day, many Christians attend church services and receive ashes on their forehead in the shape of a cross as a symbol of their mortality and need for repentance. The ashes used are typically made from the burnt palm leaves from the previous year's Palm Sunday.
