--from Wikipedia:
These Christian denominations are among those that mark Ash Wednesday by holding a service of worship or Mass: * African Methodist Episcopal Church * African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church * Anglican/Episcopal churches (excepting most Sydney Diocese churches) * Individual Baptist churches may hold a service * Church of God (Anderson) * Church of the Nazarene * Some congregations of Community of Christ * Some Free Churches * The Liberal Catholic Church * Lutheran churches * Old Catholic Church * Reformed churches (Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), etc.) * Roman Catholic Church * United Methodist churches * Wesleyan churches The Eastern Orthodox Church does not in general observe Ash Wednesday; instead, Orthodox Great Lent begins on Clean Monday. There are, however, a relatively small number of Orthodox Christians who follow the Western Rite; these do observe Ash Wednesday, although often on a different day from the previously-mentioned denominations, as its date is determined from the Orthodox calculation of Pascha, which may be as much as a month later than the Western observance of Easter.

What religions celebrate Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday is a Christian festival - so the religion that commemorates Ash Wednesday is Christianity.As to what denomination of the Christian Church, most denominations regard the 40 days (not including Sundays) that lead up to Easter Day, called Lent, as a time for penance, self-examination and reflection, and the start of this time, Ash Wednesday, is therefore significant.It is not a case of 'which denominations celebrate Ash Wednesady and which do not' as there is a great range of attitudes to the day. Some denominations, notably the Roman Catholics, some Anglicans, Orthodox and so on regard it as an important day where services involving 'ashing' (wearing of an ash cross on the forehead as a symbol of penance) are still commonplace. However, many other denominations recognise Ash Wednesday but do not regard it as anything special or significant. These may include some of the more evangelical denominations where scripture, and not tradition, is regarded as much more important.
