<p>My school had 4 services today, and ashes were distributed at all of them. I went to the 7pm one with a group of my friends. I feel like it was a great way to start the Lenten season.</p>
<p>We didn’t receive ash on Wednesday. I suppose that is because I go to a Southern Baptist affiliated school. However, I did see people with ash on their forehead. I heard many people talk about fasting from certain things, which I found really interesting.</p>
<p>I go to a Catholic school, so Ash Wednesday is a big deal.</p>
