What is Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday, observed 46 days before Easter, opens the Christian Lenten season with the imposition of ashes on the forehead as a sign of repentance, mortality, and spiritual renewal. The practice, regularized in Rome under Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century and made universal by Pope Urban II at the Council of Benevento in 1091, today marks the start of 40 days of prayer, fasting, and reflection across Western Christianity.
