About
Ash Wednesday is February 13th, following Mardi Gras on Tuesday, February 12th. Ash Wednesday is the first day of lent, falling 46 days before Easter. Read more about Ash Wednesday in the Methodist Church.
Lent is the 40 day period of preparation before Easter. It is a penitential season marked by prayer, fasting and abstinence, and almsgiving. The ashes are typically made by burning the palms that were distributed the previous year on Palm Sunday.
During this time, many Christians choose to fast or abstain from various foods.
