DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Ashes made from palm c
 rosses are blessed and are used to make crosses on people's foreheads. The
  custom dates back to the middle ages.\n\nAsh Wednesday services set the t
 one for Lent\, with sombre readings and hymns and a focus on penitence\, s
 aying sorry for and turning away from sin.\n\n"Remember that you are dust\
 , and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Chri
 st."\n\nThe season of Lent lasts for forty days (not including Sundays). I
 t is a time when Christians reflect and prepare for the celebrations of Ea
 ster. Some people fast\, eat frugally or give up treats following the exam
 ple of Jesus\, who fasted for forty days in the wilderness.\n\nPeople also
  give to charity\, set aside time to study the Bible and meet with other C
 hristians to reflect on Jesus' life and prepare for the events of Holy Wee
 k and Easter.
