Ever since the 12th century, ashes became specifically associated with the beginning of Lent: A period of preparation to Easter in which we observe a time of reflection and looking towards spiritual renewal in looking to God.
So then:
How can we be reconciled to God?
Ps 32:1
Isaiah 52:7
Phil 3:8-11
Romans 4:6-8
Isaiah 43:25
Acts 13:38
We as Christians now celebrate this day as an outward sign of our need for repentance and acceptance of the forgiveness paid by Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
It is a choice to respond to God’s love, to promise to give ourselves back to Him who first sacrificed Himself for us.
For those who wish to receive the ashes, come.
