Lent is traditionally a 40-day fast - a reference to the time Jesus spent being tempted in the desert - that seeks to prepare the heart of the believer for the solemn remembrance of Jesus’ death. Ash Wednesday is always 46 days before Easter Sunday and marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The Catholic church usually uses the ashes of Palm Sunday branches from the previous year’s Palm Sunday service. Prayer plays an important part on Ash Wednesday as a time for reflection, repentance, and preparation for Lent. Ash Wednesday is a penitent service that uses ashes to mark the sign of the cross on the believer’s forehead, symbolizing our sinful nature and need for salvation.
