On February 22, 2023, millions of Christians from different denominations will observe Ash Wednesday as the start of Lent.
As a day for spiritual reflection and a chance to connect with God through group prayer and fasting, Ash Wednesday is a significant religious occasion for Christians all over the world. It is observed about six weeks prior to Easter Sunday, which honours Jesus Christ’s resurrection.
Ash Wednesday’s main goal is to honour Christ’s 40-day fast and demonstration of self-control in the desert before he started his ministry. Before he started preaching, the Bible says that Jesus was tempted by Satan during this time.
