About Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent in the Western Christian calendar, observed 46 days before Easter Sunday. It is a day of fasting, repentance, and reflection for millions of Christians worldwide, including Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, and other denominations.
The day takes its name from the tradition of placing ashes on the forehead in the shape of a ✝️ Latin cross, symbolising mortality and penitence. Church services at ⛪ Church feature prayers, readings, and the imposition of ashes. The 🕊️ Dove represents peace and the Holy Spirit, while 🕯️ Candle and 📿 Prayer beads reflect the contemplative nature of the Lenten season.
Ash Wednesday emojis are used in social media posts to share reflections, mark the beginning of Lent, and express faith. Many people also share what they are giving up for the 40-day Lenten period leading to Easter.
