The Lenten Season culminates on Easter Sunday Morning with the Easter Sonrise Service (the Service is called this because it is supposed to mark the Resurrection hour of the Savior, the Son of God). It is a time for reflection, repentance, renewal, prayer, and personal sacrifice. Ash Wednesday follows Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday. “The Day of Ashes” or Ash Wednesday, as it is more commonly known, falls on the Wednesday of the seventh week before Easter and is the date that marks the start of the Holy Lenten Season for Christians around the World. 2011 was the first year that the African American Lectionary posted Compact Units for moments on its Liturgical Calendar. For additional information see Ash Wednesday in the archives of the Lectionary for 2008–2011. Instead, to enliven the imagination of preachers and teachers, we have provided a sermonic outline, songs, suggested books, and suggested articles, links, and videos. This means that it is not a complete commentary of the Scripture(s) selected for this day on the calendar, nor does it have a full supporting cultural resource unit and worship unit. The unit you are viewing, Ash Wednesday, is a compact unit. Parker III, member of the African American Lectionary Team
