Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the journey through the season of Lent. It is the day ashes, in the form of the cross, are imposed upon our heads and we are reminded that we are “dust and to dust we shall return”. On this day, we hold in tension our mortality and the gift of new creation that God grants through the death and glorious resurrection of Christ.
