This day is important because it marks the start of the Lenten period leading up to Easter.
We begin our journey to Easter with the sign of ashes, a biblical symbol of mourning and repentance.
This ancient sign speaks of the fragility of human life and becomes an outward sign of the community of faith.
Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent,
Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days.
