Marked by Ashes, Marked by Christ

Published: Feb. 18, 2021, 2 a.m.

This Wednesday marks the beginning of the liturgical season of Lent, a six-week journey of walking with Christ to the cross. On Ash Wednesday many Christians will be “marked” by a cross of ashes to be reminded of their mortality, humility, and intimate connection to the earth: “From the dust of the earth you were created and to the dust of the earth you shall return.” 

What do these ashes mean to you this year?
