Ash Wednesday
The season of lent has begun for Christians whose religious culture is based on the example of Jesus as savior who was crucified on a cross for the sins of humans. It is celebrated for 40days beginning Ash Wednesday. Saturdays and Sundays are excluded and it ends on Good Friday.
It follows a pattern commemorating the 40 days Jesus of Nazareth was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He overcame every temptation. This is an example showing humans how there are no challenges which cannot be defeated.
The College community welcomed Father Kevin from Holy Name Parish to celebrate Mass and distribute ASHES.
