Today is Ash Wednesday, and marks the start of Lent - forty days of preparation in the lead up to Easter.
Many people use this time to fast; I have decided to create! A crochet cross a day, with a short reflection. https://t.co/EiUKK0KBnd
Today, I join Christians around the world in observing Ash Wednesday. As we enter the season of Lent, we know this moment of repentance, reflection, and renewal comes in the midst of a painful winter. Let us look with hope and anticipation toward Easter and brighter days ahead.
#ShroveTuesday, a traditional feast day on the eve of Lent on Ash Wednesday, was the last opportunity to use up eggs & fats before a 40-day Lenten fast leading up to Easter. Turns out that pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients! #PancakeDay 🥞 https://t.co/moLe1xiago

Hey, @collinsmandy, how about a tutorial on "censor", "censure" and "sensor"?
Lots of misuse of "censor" on twitter today.
If you're feeling catholic on this Ash Wednesday you can add "censer" as well.
very sad to not be getting my ash today, wishing everyone a holy and happy Ash Wednesday and a successful period of self reflection and repentance ! 🤍
