The Ritual of the Ashes: Ash Wednesday

I was blessed and prayed for this wonderful Presbyterian event leading into lent and then Easter. I felt love.

Ash Wednesday marks the start of the 40-day Lenten season for Christians, serving as a solemn day of repentance, fasting, and reflection before Easter. Occurring 46 days before Easter (Feb. 18, 2026), it is defined by the tradition of placing ashes on the forehead to symbolize mortality and the need for reconciliation with God. 

Thank you Church of the Valley Pres. ♥️
