Ash Wednesday FAQs
What is the significance of Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten period leading up to Easter. This day is when devout Christians begin their 46 day fasting period.
What is the history of Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday has been a significant part of Christianity for less than 1000 years, with the first Ash Wednesday ceremonies taking place around the 11th century.
What does the Bible say about Ash Wednesday?
There is no real mention of Ash Wednesday in the bible, but the tradition of donning ashes has been practiced for years.
Ash Wednesday, the Wednesday six weeks before Easter Sunday – February 17, 2021, – is a Christian holy day of fasting, sacrifice, and prayer. Followers of Jesus, of several sects and denominations, often forgo a regular meal schedule, instead eating only one normal-sized meal and two very small ones over the course of a given 24-hour period, especially on Good Friday. The most devout Christians are known to eat even less than that, limiting themselves to bread and water to signify their recognition of Christ’s 40-day, 40-night fast as recounted in the Gospels. Abstinence from alcohol is also stressed on Ash Wednesday and throughout the Lenten period.
