Philippines: Ash Wednesday by Gregorio B. Dantes Jr.
Parishioners received ash cross on their forehead during the celebration of “Ash Wednesday” at Saint John Marry Vianney Parish church in Antipolo City on March 6, 2019. Ash Wednesday opens Lent, a season of fasting and prayer. Ash Wednesday takes place 46 days before Easter Sunday, and is chiefly observed by Catholics, although many other Christians observe it too. Ash Wednesday comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting.
