Did you know Ash Wednesday kicks off the season of lent? fbcsa Sponsored
Ash Wednesday is a day where people set aside time to commit to prayer, fasting, and repentance. It starts the Lenten season, which culminates in Easter.
First Baptist Church of San Antonio leaders say it’s also a time to recognize the deep need for a savior and offer praise to God. During the church service, pastors or priests will place a small cross made of ashes on foreheads of people who attend.“We also use the symbol of ashes, placing a small mark on our foreheads to remind us of our need to be cleansed and God’s power to cleanse us,” FBC officials said.This day marks the beginning of the season of Lent, a season where Christians take a journey with Christ towards the cross, FBC officials said. The Lenten season lasts 40 days, not including Sundays.
This season culminates with Easter Sunday, the day Christians observe that Jesus Christ ascended from the dead to absolve the world of their sins.Copyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
