Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent. Lent is about reflection and introspection. The season leads up to Easter.
Penitence.
Abstinence.
Fasting.
Darkness and Wilderness.
Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness.
Spiky plants, rocks, sand.
Remembering our mortality.
Getting ready for resurrection.
Purple.
Royal connotations.
Counter-cultural themes in the stories of Lent.
Holy Thursday. Good Friday.
Holy Saturday.
