The Biblical Roots of Ash Wednesday
February 13, 2020/
In this video, Dr. Pitre gives insight into the Biblical foundation for Ash Wednesday, as well as the rationale and purpose of the season of Lent.
He addresses questions such as:
- Why do you we use ashes?
- Why are we asked of the Church to increase our fasting, prayer, and almsgiving during Lent?
- Is Lent just about abstaining from a favorite food, or is there something more to it?
