Why do you call the first day of Lent Ash Wednesday?
The first day of lent is known as Ash Wednesday because on that day, people who attend a church's Ash Wednesday service receive ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. The leaders of the church dip their fingers in ashes (often the remains of burned palm branches used at the church's celebratory Palm Sunday service) then trace the shape of a cross on each church member's forehead while reciting the phrase, "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." This ceremony reminds us that God created man out of dust, and that when we die our bodies will once again return to dust. This ceremony takes place on a Wednesday.
