This season is typically one of discipleship – where we try to transform our dirt into something holy. Lent begins with a small marking of ashes, a little dust that confronts us with our sin, and our mortality – from dust to come and to dust we return, save for the miraculous actions of Easter day.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the 40 days leading to Easter, where we begin a journey towards preparing our hearts for Easter, and the world-changing miracle that celebration represents.
