Today is Ash Wednesday, the day on the church calendar that marks the beginning of Lent. Many churches celebrate with services, including the imposition of ashes. I will participate in this at the Hospital.
The church of my membership, a Baptist church, has a special service tonight I wish I could go to. Its a service of Contrition and Thanksgiving. we have ashes and Lord's Supper. I will be at work.
The meaning of the ashes. Its a symbol of sinfulness, but also healing because if you feel ashes in your fingers there is an oil substance to them. Oil is a symbol of healing. Much can be said of this and the meaning of ashes. In the past few years Ash Wednesday has been celebrated across denominations and in various ways. I think this is a good thing. I will miss my churches service.
