Ash Wednesday Symbolism

Do you know ash Wednesday symbolism? It is Ash Wednesday today February 18, 2015. Ash Wednesday, what is it? All Catholics should know what is Ash Wednesday all about. I saw many people has a cross sign in the forehead. The cross sign was done by applying an ash. But, the question is what’s that really mean? I log on to my Twitter account and I found out the word “ash wednesday” is trending. Actually it was a number one trend in Twitter today. The word AshWednesday with a hash tag (#) can help us the point of views of other people what is it all about.

Aside from #AshWednesday, another trending is the word “Lent 2015”. Maybe most Christians are now preparing for the lent 2015. Some other time, we’ll talk about lent 2015. For the mean time, let’s discuss Ash Wednesday by knowing what other people say about it…
