Ash Wednesday fell on February 17 in 2010, marking the beginning of Lent in the Christian calendar. This day is observed by many denominations, including Catholics and some Protestant groups, as a time for reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. On Ash Wednesday, worshippers typically receive ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross, symbolizing mortality and the call to penance. The date of Ash Wednesday varies each year, as it is determined by the timing of Easter.
