Ash Wednesday

Have you ever wondered why we have Ash Wednesday? We have Ash Wednesday to remind us that we are sinful people and need cleansing ,that is what the Ashes are for. We sing Mournful songs on Ash Wednesday as we prepare for Lent. the ashes are from the burnt palms on last years palm Sunday. Kneeling while doing this shows humility to God. Some people even give up their possessions for six weeks! They might give up something like TV or video games, They do that because God gave up his son Jesus Christ to die for or sins. Ash Wednesday is a good reminder of all that Jesus has done for us, in jesu name, Amen.
