Marquette
Community Observes Ash Wednesday
Released:
2/25/04
The Marquette University community will observe Ash Wednesday
during several masses on campus. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning
of the Lenten season during which Catholics recall the sacrifice
of Christ. During mass, ashes are rubbed on the forehead of those
in attendance. The ashes are the burned remnants of palms used
during Palm Sunday celebrations in the Easter season.
