SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:The Wednesday forty-six days before Easter\, opening the West
 ern Lent\n\nThe first day of Lent in the Western churches\, on which ash
 es\, made from the previous year's Palm Sunday branches\, are marked on 
 the forehead with the words "Remember that you are dust\, and to dust yo
 u shall return." It is a day of fasting and abstinence\, and the ashes\,
  worn out into the street\, have made it one of the most publicly visibl
 e days of the Christian year. Many Protestant churches that had dropped 
 it have restored the imposition of ashes.\n\nhttps://language.interactiv
