- Note
- "Ash Wednesday is a Catholic holy day of prayer and fasting. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence before Easter. Ash Wednesday is traditionally observed by Western Catholics. It is observed by Anglicans, most Latin Rite Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Moravians and Independent Catholics, as well many from the Reformed faith.
As it is the first day of Lent, some Catholics begin Ash Wednesday by marking a Lenten calendar, praying a Lenten daily devotional, and making a Lenten sacrifice that they will not partake of until the arrival of Eastertide." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.08.2020)
