Ash Wednesday During a Pandemic
Ash Wednesday (which falls on February 17 this year) is the official beginning of the season of Lent. Typically, Christians gather on this day in a service of penitence and reflection during which they impose ashes on each other’s foreheads in the shape of the Cross. As with most services done in the shadow of the pandemic, Ash Wednesday participants will need to adapt to keep safe and avoid spreading the virus. Read tips about how to do this on Resource UMC at https://www.resourceumc.org/en/content/ash-wednesday-during-a-pandemic.
