The Season of Lent

What is Ash Wednesday?

Ash Wednesday gets its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of Christians as a sign of repentance. In ancient times, ashes were rubbed into the skin as a sign of mourning. The ashes symbolize our sins and faults.

Do you believe that we should have ashes put on our foreheads for Ash Wednesday? What are the pros and cons of having ashes put on your forehead?
