What is Ash Wednesday? The
Rev. Bob Hudak, Nativity's rector, explains:
"Ash Wednesday marks the
beginning of the season of Lent, the forty days preceding Easter. As early
as the eighth century, Christians on this day received a cross of ashes
on the forehead to remind them of their mortality. This mark echoes the
sign of the cross made at Baptism. The ashes, which are made by burning
palms saved from the previous year's Palm Sunday, are a biblical
symbol of mourning and penance."
The Episcopal Church of the
Nativity is at 130 Antioch Road in Fayetteville. For more information
