Roman Catholic Answer.False, it is not a Holy Day of Obligation. However, Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting for all who have completed their 21st year and have not started their 60th. It is a day of abstinence from meat obliges all who have completed their fourteenth year. Abstinence means no meat and fasting means two small meals and one large meal with no snacks in between. Ashes are received at Mass to remind us of how, "You are made from dust and unto dust you shall return". The Ashes are a symbol of the dust from which we were made and will return.
