Valentine's Day is a special day dedicated to love and affection. It's a time for people to express their love and appreciation for one another, often through the exchange of cards, flowers, and romantic gestures. While the holiday's origins are rooted in both Christian and ancient Roman traditions, today, it has become a secular celebration of love that transcends religious boundaries. Couples often go on romantic dates, share heartfelt gifts, and enjoy quality time together, while friends and family members may also exchange tokens of affection.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the solemn season of Lent, a time for reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal. Join us in embracing this meaningful day as ashes are received, symbolizing humility and mortality. As we enter this period of self-examination, let Ash Wednesday be a reminder of our shared humanity and the opportunity for personal growth. Participate in this solemn observance, acknowledging the ashes as a symbol of penance and a commitment to a more meaningful and reflective journey leading up to Easter.
