Ash Wednesday is acknowledged on March 5 ,2025, as the beginning of Lent for Christians who follow the Western or Gregorian calendar.
Lenten season occurs for approximately six and a half weeks before Easter. For many Christians, this period of time is marked with reflection, prayers centered on repentance, and fasting.
On Ash Wednesday, some church goers are marked with ashes in the shape of the cross. The ashes symbolize sorrow for things done wrong. Some Christians believe that the ashes symbolize frailty and brokenness. For students, families and staff observing this day and Lent, may this time bring you peace, reflection and spiritual insight.
