Ash Wednesday 2021: What is Ash Wednesday?

Ash Wednesday will this year take place on February 17. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday which is known colloquially as Pancake Day. This special day in the Christian calendar takes its name from the placing of repentance ashes on the foreheads of participants.

Tuesday, February 16, marks Shrove Tuesday this year.

Shrove Tuesday, observed in many Christian countries, is the day before Ash Wednesday and is known as Pancake Day.

On Shrove Tuesday, traditionally celebrants participate in confession and absolution, the ritual burning of the previous year’s Holy Week palms and finalising of one’s Lenten sacrifice.

People eat pancakes and sweets as it is known as a “carnival day” before a period of fasting begins for Lent.

Ash Wednesday is traditionally observed by Western Christians and marks the first day of Lent.

The date of Ash Wednesday comes after Shrove Tuesday but is also contingent on when Easter is each year.

Ash Wednesday always occurs six and a half weeks before Easter.

This year, Good Friday and Easter Sunday will take place April 2 and 4 respectively.

Ash Wednesday is a day of penitence to clean the soul before the Lent fast begins.

The day gets its name from the traditional blessing of the ashes after burning the Palm branches or crosses made from Palm leaves, from the previous year’s Palm Sunday celebrations.

In the Christian faith, Lent is a six-week period of reflection and preparation for Easter.

During Lent, the Christian church and celebrants use the period to pray and show penitence.

Typically many people observe Lent by surrendering a particular vice such as their favourite foods, drinking or smoking for the duration.
