Ash Wednesday and Lent - ketchim - 03-01-2017
AND giving up something you find difficult to : during this period !
Whom is an observing Christian ?
and what are you giving up at Lent ?
Re: Ash Wednesday and Lent - Meseret - 03-01-2017
I don't give up anything. That's for the 40-day Christians.
Re: Ash Wednesday and Lent - ketchim - 03-01-2017
Where does the Ash come from ?
Is it saved up from the branch of the Palms ?
from the previous year Palm Sunday .
btw Meseret ...its gonna be 46 days this year by my calculation
Re: Ash Wednesday and Lent - Meseret - 03-01-2017
Yeah, the palms from the previous year are burnt. Some people actually return their palms to church for this.
