The significance of Ash Wednesday...on a journey with Christ.
When Does Lent Start in 2026?
Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday — 18 February 2026
Lent officially begins on Ash Wednesday. In many churches, ashes are marked on the forehead in the shape of a cross, accompanied by words such as “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” The day sets the tone for the season: honest, reflective, and grounded in humility.
Ash Wednesday is traditionally a day of fasting and abstinence.
