We have been learning about Lent and Ash Wednesday. In our classroom we had a prayer service with Father Rush and Patrick. Some children in our class read out prayers.
Catholic Churches ask you to do three things during Lent: to pray, to give up something you like or like to do and give to others for the forty days of Lent.
The Ash Cross
The ash cross represents that we have not lived up to the goodness that we have and that we will try again. The ashes are also a symbol that you will never live forever. The ashes come from palms.
