Ash Wednesday Service
February 18 at 6:30pm
Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and repentance before Easter, characterized by priests applying ashes in the shape of a cross on believers' foreheads as a symbol of mortality and renewal, echoing the biblical phrase, "Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return". This ancient tradition, rooted in Old Testament practices of mourning, reminds Christians of their human frailty and need for God's grace, beginning a solemn journey of spiritual reflection.
