The minister puts the ashes on
Giving is to
Lent lasts
We wear ash to proclaim that
Lent begins on
The ashes are made form the burned
Jesus spent 40 days
Praying is to
Remember that you are dust
Fasting is when
Lent is the Christian season for
palms of last year´s Palm Sunday
repent and renew our faith in Jesus
Christians abstain from meat on Fridays
grow closer to God
40 days
we are sinners
share with others especially the poor
your forehead
Ash Wednesday
and to dust you shall return
in the desert
