Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lenten season

    Today marks Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lenten Season.  It is 46 days before Easter.  Today, people wear the ash marked on their forehead by the priest done after a mass. The ash came from Palm used in last years Palm Sunday   Lent is a latin word that means 40

   Such means:

1.  That we came from ash and we shall return to ash.

2.  It is an acceptance of the fact that we sinned from original sin and other transgressions today....

3.  It iis the start of season of reflection  penance and fasting before the day of Resurrection of the Lord.
