Truth be told, Ash Wednesday just might be my
favourite day of the year. I love everything about the symbolism, which holds,
or so it seems to me, all of Advent and Christmastide, and Lent and Eastertide,
in one. And I love that it is an everyday day, a mid-week day (literally:
always Wednesday) and, moreover, a day that wanders about with the phases of
the moon (between 2000-2030, Ash Wednesday moves around between 9 February and
6 March). Oh, and I get to draw on people’s faces, with impunity. What’s not to
love?
