Este edición de Catholic Update explora los orígenes y el significado de una de las tradiciones más distintivas de la Iglesia. El Miércoles de Ceniza, nos recuerdan nuestros pecados y usamos la señal no solo de estos pecados, sino también del perdón de Dios con la señal de la cruz en nuestras frentes.

This issue of Catholic Update explores the origins and meaning behind one of the most distinctive traditions in the Church.

“Those who work with liturgy in parishes know that some of the largest crowds in the year will show up to receive ashes on Ash Wednesday,” the author writes. “Though this is not a holy day of obligation in our tradition, many people would not think of letting Ash Wednesday go by without a trip to church to be marked with an ashen cross on their foreheads.”

On Ash Wednesday, we are reminded of our sins, and wear the sign of not only these sins but also God's forgiveness with the sign of the cross our foreheads.
