What is ash wednesday 2019?

Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day that marks the start of the Lenten season. In 2019, Ash Wednesday falls on March 6th.

The day is observed by many Catholics and other Christian denominations, who attend church services and receive ashes marked on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. The ashes are a reminder of mortality and a call to repentance, humility, and sacrifice.

During the Lenten season, which lasts for 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday, many Christians observe fasting, prayer, and other forms of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of this period of introspection and spiritual growth.
