The celebration that marks the beginning of Lent changes every year but is between February 4 and March 10
One of the most anticipated events by Catholics is Ash Wednesday, which is a religious rite that marks the beginning of Lent and whose date of celebration changes every year, that is why many wonder when will Ash Wednesday be in 2020 ?
In the current year, this celebration will take place on February 26. Now surely you want to know why this date is different every year? It should be noted that Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, which is a period of 40 days prior to the celebration of Easter Sunday.
During this season some Christian groups (among which Catholics, Anglicans and a good part of Protestants stand out) purify themselves and seek enlightenment and salvation. The commemoration of Holy Week is calculated based on the lunar calendar and not on the Gregorian, which is the one normally used and is governed by the sun.
For this reason, the rite of Ash Wednesday every year is between February 4 and March 10. For all believers, Lent is the 40 days in which conversion and repentance are called, according to what was said by Father José de Jesús Valdés, archbishopric of Mexico.
Lent does not have a fixed date, some people tell me why they move me on Ash Wednesday and it is that Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday of the spring full moon and this makes Easter move and how the ash has to get 40 days before Easter this makes Ash Wednesday movable
There are 40 days in which Christians prepare for Easter and it is considered a time of penance and purification.
What is the use of putting ashes, if the person is going to continue living badly, it is of absolutely no use, it is a sign, if someone perhaps could not go to take ash, but is making the change, repentance, improvement of life, never mind
