Ash Wednesday marks the onset of Lent, the 40-day period of fasting and abstinence. Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer and fasting and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence before Easter. Ash Wednesday is traditionally observed by Western Christians. It is observed by Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists, as well as many from the Evangelical churches.

Ash Wednesday is important because it marks the start of the Lenten period leading up to Easter, when Christians believe Jesus was resurrected. During this period, Christians show repentance and mourning for their sin, because they believe that Christ died for them.

On Ash Wednesday, the ashes of the palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday are placed on the foreheads in the shape of a cross to the members of the congregation. The day is seen as a way for Christians to remind themselves that they need to repent their sins. The ashes are meant to signify penance, mourning and mortality.

The imposition of ashes — of dust — is a reminder of our death. It is a symbol of sorrow for our sins. The symbol of dust that comes from the Book of Genesis: "You are dust and to dust you will return." For some, dust is a symbol of the common place minimum obligations put forth by the Church and undertake a complete fast or a bread and water fast until sunset.
