Filipino Tradition Every Holy Week

Good evening! How's your day today? Me, while ago i went to church together with my friends...

Today, celebrations of Ash Wednesday vary among churches that recognize this holiday.

In my church ashes are placed on our foreheads as a reminder of our mortality and sinfulness.

On Ash Wednesday we remember that we are dust. Of course we also realize that we are far more than merely dust. But Ash Wednesday gives us a chance to focus on our “dustiness,” if you will.

It’s a day to remember the bad news of who we are apart from Christ so that we can begin to prepare for the great news of Good Friday and Easter.
