Ash Wednesday is a holy day of prayer, fasting and repentance. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence before Easter. The date always falls 46 days before Easter Sunday and is chiefly observed by Catholics and Christians. The Lenten period is one of reflection and repentance of sin, with those who observe it expected to seek reconciliation with God. The practices of Ash Wednesday, such as the placing of ashes on the foreheads of participants, go back centuries.
Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, a six-week period during which Christians often abstain from rich foods such as meat and dairy.
Some who take part also abstain from everyday habits such as watching excessive amounts of television. Christians take part in the annual abstinent period of Lent in order to commemorate Jesus Christ, who, according to a biblical narrative, once spent 40 days and nights fasting in the Judaean Desert while being tempted by Satan. This year, Ash Wednesday takes place on Wednesday 17 February.
