For Dust you are, and unto dust you shall return (Gen 3:19)
Ash Wednesday marks the dawn of Lent, a season of penance, prayer and alms giving . The Lenten season begins with a day of Fasting. This year on February 14th, at Mother of God Church, Shakthinagar, the catholics gathered in large numbers at 6.30am and 5.30pm at the Eucharistic celebration received the mark of the cross with ash on forehead as a sign of repentance and penance.
