What happens at ash Wednesday mass?
At the Ash Wednesday Mass, there will be a standard liturgy. Unlike typical masses, you will receive a cross of ash on your forehead and the Priest will usually say, "Remember, O man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19). This is to symbolize the Ancient Near East tradition when people would toss ashes over their heads to receive repentance from God. Many people still leave the ashes on their foreheads until it fades away, however, it's becoming more and more popular to wash the ash off after the Mass. The act of placing ashes on the faithful's head is not a sacrament, but rather sacramental so you do not have to be Catholic to receive it. Hope this helps!

Dose Easter Sunday and Ash Wednesday connect with Lent?
Yes, they both do. Lent is a period of penance and atonement done in memory of Our Lord's forty day fast in the desert (See Matthew 4:2-"And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards He was hungry...") Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the "kick-off" if you will. On this day Catholics have their foreheads marked with ashes in memory of God's creating Adam out of dust (See Genesis 3:19-"for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return"). Easter Sunday is the day where Christians celebrate Christ's Resurrection from the dead, and it is also the end of Lent.
