What is Ash Wednesday?

Ashes are sprinkled on the top of the head in this 1881 Polish painting.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of
Lent and occurs 46 days before
Easter. It falls on a different date each year because it is dependent on the date of Easter. It can occur as early as February 4 or as late as March 10.
Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a sign of mourning and repentance to God. The ashes used are typically gathered after the palms from the previous year's
Palm Sunday are burned.
