Today is not an ordinary Wednesday.. It is Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent and the countdown to Easter. Since I am in a Catholic school we had an Ash Wednesday Liturgy! We got ashes on our forehead and we learnt something else ..If we turn away from God he will forgive us and that we always make mistakes. Do you celebrate Ash Wednesday?
Here are 5 things I learnt.
The ashes are burnt palm leaves from last year.
Its the start of Lent
The person that puts ashes on your forehead says something and you say ” Amen ”
The biggest day for Catholic and Christians
Lent is the countdown to Easter
Here is the ash on my forehead..
