Lenten Pilgrimage: Ash Wednesday
Lenten Pilgrimage: Ash WednesdayFebruary 18, 2015
"Remember that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return." (Genesis 3:19)
"...the Lenten pilgrimage begins with the reception of ashes (preferably in abundance) and the reminder that we are dust and to dust we shall return. The grittiness of Lent continues for six weeks, until pilgrims enter the supreme realism of the Paschal Triduum."
(George Weigel, Roman Pilgrimage: The Station Churches)
