Lent 2020 - The Journey to the Cross: Ash Wednesday
February 26, 2020
And so it begins…The Journey to the Cross! Today is Ash Wednesday, and many Christians across the globe have already found their way to houses of worship for the imposition of ashes. Persons who have participated in this rite are accustomed to hearing these words spoken to Adam and Eve in the garden as a consequence to their disobedience:
By the sweat of your brow
you shall eat bread,
Until you return to the ground,
from which you were taken;
For you are dust,
and to dust you shall return. (Genesis 3:19)
