The Meaning of Lent to This Unchurched Christian
NASHVILLE — On Wednesday, in Catholic parishes across the world, a priest will dip his thumb into a pot of ashes — the burned remains of blessed palms from last year’s Palm Sunday Mass — and smudge the sign of the cross on each congregant’s forehead. Performing this ancient ritual, he will murmur, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
Ash Wednesday ：聖灰禮儀星期三；聖灰日：四旬（封齋）期的第一天，是日神父在教友額頭上塗以聖灰，並說：「人！你要記著，你原是土，將來仍要歸於土（創三 19 ）。」或說：「你要悔改，信從福音。」此日應守大、小齋表示痛悔己罪。
