Christians all over the world, will today, Wednesday February 22, 2023, begin this year’s Lenten fast with the symbolic, Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season during which Christians fast until the Easter period, which signifies the time of Christ’s resurrection from the dead as taught in the Bible.
Ash Wednesday is usually marked by Christians, especially those of the Catholic faith. The day features the marking of the forehead with ash as a reminder of the human mortality and the need for reconciliation with God.
