Why Ash? Why 40 days? How to observe Lent in a meaningful way?  

The ancient practice of placing ashes on our foreheads as a sign of repentance and observing the 40 days of Lent are traditions rooted in Scripture, inviting us into a spirit of renewal through fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. These sincere practices open our hearts to God. As we approach Holy Week and Easter, Lent offers a time to seek change, deepen faith, and prepare for the celebration ahead.
