what is Ash Wednesday?

"For Christians ashes are a symbol of being sorry for the things they've done wrong that they want to get rid of forever. Ashes are a reminder that we all come from ashes, and to ashes we all will return. Using ashes to mark the cross on the forehead symbolizes that through Christ's death and resurrection, all believers can be free from sin. Ashes are a reminder that God is gracious and merciful to those who call on Him with repentant hearts."
