Ash Wednesday, the first day of the liturgical season of Lent, is the seventh Wednesday before Easter. It is also the day after Mardi Gras, a.k.a. Carnival or Fat Tuesday, which is a "final blowout" in contrast to the sacrifice associated with Lent, along the same line of thinking as a bachelor party.
In some countries and denominations, the date of Easter is based on the Julian calendar. That often causes it to fall either one, four or five weeks after the Easter that is based on Pope Gregory XIII's 1582 Easter Table, which is good through the year 4099. Because Ash Wednesday is one of the dates that is calculated from the date of Easter, in years and places when/where Easter is celebrated later, Ash Wednesday falls later by the same amount.
