About the event
Ash Wednesday and the Season of Lent: A Journey of Reflection and Renewal
Introduction: Brief Overview of Ash Wednesday and Lent
Ash Wednesday initiates Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and prayer leading to Easter, symbolised by ash imposition as a call to repentance and reflection, emphasising spiritual renewal and preparation for Easter's celebration.
Importance in Christian Tradition
Rooted deeply in early Christian observance, Ash Wednesday and Lent remind believers of mortality and the call to repentance, inspired by Jesus' desert fasting. This season encourages introspection and spiritual disciplines, fostering community unity and renewal in anticipation of Easter joy.
