Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. It is a
time when we think about the things that have
gone wrong in our lives and we try to mend them.
For example, we say we are sorry to people we may
have been rude to.

Renewal of faith- Ash Wednesday
Easter is such an important Christian festival
there are 40 days of preparation leading up to
it.
These days of preparation are known as Lent.
They start with Ash Wednesday and end with
Easter Sunday.

What happens on Ash Wednesday?
The first day of Lent is called Ash Wednesday.
On Ash Wednesday
Christians attend a special service where the
priest will make the sign of cross on the
foreheads of worshippers while saying the words
Turn away from sin and believe in the Gospel
The cross is a sign that you are sorry for
your sins. The ash comes from burning the Palm
branches from the previous year.
