Wednesday is the day Lent begins. It occurs forty days before
Good Friday. Actually, Ash Wednesday is its colloquial name.
Its official name is the Day of Ashes. It is called Ash
Wednesday because, being forty days before Good Friday, it
always falls on a Wednesday and it is called Ash Wednesday
because on that day at church the faithful have their
foreheads marked with ashes in the shape of a cross. |
