DESCRIPTION:The season of Lent begins today and lasts for forty days (excl
 uding Sundays). It is a time when Christians reflect and prepare for the c
 elebrations of Easter. Some people fast\, eat frugally or give up treats f
 ollowing the example of Jesus\, who fasted for forty days in the wildernes
 s.\nPeople also give to charity\, set aside time to study the Bible and me
 et with other Christians to reflect on Jesus' life and prepare for the eve
 nts of Holy Week and Easter. \nAsh Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Ash
 es made from palm crosses are blessed and are used to make crosses on peop
 le's foreheads. The custom dates back to the middle ages.\nAsh Wednesday s
 ervices set the tone for Lent\, with sombre readings and hymns and a focus
  on penitence (saying sorry for and turning away from sin).\n\n"Remember t
 hat you are dust\, and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be
  faithful to Christ."
