You were made out of the ground. You will return to it when you die. You are dust, and you will return to dust. Genesis 3:19
Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent and falls 40 days before Easter (not counting Sundays). Lent is a time when we focus on remembering the events leading up to Jesus' death on the cross. On Ash Wednesday, you often see Christians wearing ashes on their forehead in the shape of a cross. This is an outward sign of the repentance that is in our hearts. The ashes remind us to turn our hearts toward God and live more like Jesus.
