As part of the institution’s culture and tradition, the NDMC held its annual celebration of Ash Wednesday yesterday, February 22, 2023.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of the forty-six-day lent in preparation for Easter Sunday on April 9, 2023.
Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days.
