Ash Wednesday begins Lent and ends at Easter. Christians confess their sins and show devotion to God. Ashes symbolize death and repentance; a priest marks a cross on the forehead, saying, “Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” #religiousfestivalscalendar pic.twitter.com/peEemcVhQh— Valley Park School (@VPSchool) March 5, 2025

Shrove Tuesday is the last day before Lent, a period of fasting for many Christians. Known as Pancake Day, it involves using up eggs, sugar, and fat - foods often avoided during Lent - in traditional pancakes to prevent waste. #religiousfestivalscalendar pic.twitter.com/a1FFIe3h0z— Valley Park School (@VPSchool) March 4, 2025
