Today is Ash Wednesday. “Remember that you are dust, and to dust, you shall return."

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in the Western Christian Church, marked by services of penitence. 

Ash Wednesday is a solemn reminder of human mortality and the need for reconciliation with God and marks the beginning of the penitential Lenten season. It is commonly observed with ashes and fasting.

We have the 40 days of Lent to consider what we have done. It is your choice whether to make good use of this time or simply as “How much longer?” or “How many days to Easter?”

Western Easter is observed on Sunday, April 17, 2022.

Greek Easter is observed a week later on Sunday, April 24, 2022.

Orthodox Easter will usually fall later in the year than Western Christian Easter because Orthodox Easter uses the Julian calendar and the later uses the Gregorian calendar.
