Lent just began yesterday, Ash Wednesday, for those who participate. I did Many yrs ago.

When does Lent 2023 start?
Lent begins on Wednesday February 22, 2023 — also known as Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday, which is traditionally a somber holiday, a church's priest or pastor will dip their finger into a tray of ashes and spread them on congregants' foreheads in the shape of a cross. While doing this, they'll say, “from dust you came and from dust you will return.” The ashes are made by burning palm branches from the previous year's Palm Sunday (this year, Palm Sunday falls on April 2).
