Ash Wednesday 2010

Posted under Faith Matters by admin

Today is Ash Wednesday and we remember today marks the start of the season of Lent or 40 days before Easter Sunday (excluding Sundays). Lent is the season where we observe penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ash Wednesday got its name from putting ashes in the forehead of the faithful as a sign of our repentance for our sins. These ashes used are usually gathered from the Palm Crosses from the last year’s Palm Sunday that are burned.

We were able to attend mass this afternoon and the Church was really full with devote Catholics. Our lil boy was curious with the black mark on our forehead. We had dinner out after observing fasting from pork which is just great coz I love the fried milkfish that they have in the resto we went to.
