Lent Begins with Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40 day period of abstinence and fasting which prepares us for Easter.  Learn the history of Lent and how and why we practice this penitential season each year.  Five Minute Faith also has a suggestion to help you make this the most spiritual Lenten season yet!
