The Sylvania Times thesy lvaniatimes .com Page 6 - Wednesday, March 9, 2022 “Excuse me, but you have something on your forehead.” -Father Larry Jesion, Priest St. Michael’s Episcopal Church It is that time of year again in which many Christians prepare to observe the liturgical season of Lent. This year Lent began on Wednesday, March 2nd or Ash Wednesday. Why Ashes? During an Ash Wednesday service, the member of clergy imposing the ashes typically says, “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” as the ashes are placed on the fore head in the form of a cross. The ashes serve as a symbol of our creation; Genesis 2:7, “...(T)hen the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.” The ashes also serve as a reminder of humility in that without God, without His life-giving Spirit, we are nothing. The ashes announce to the world that we are believers in God, and that we acknowledge our role in His creation. The ashes used are traditionally created by burning palm fronds and woven palm crosses from the prior year’s Palm Sunday. The ashes are mixed with a small amount of oil to create a good smudg ing mixture. What is Lent? Early Christians baptized new Christians on Eas ter Sunday. There was a period of study, prayer and fasting prior to Easter Sunday. The number of days varies throughout Church history, but currently it is 46 days> 40 fasting days and 6 feast days (Sundays). The 40 fasting days remind us of the 40 days that Jesus fasted in the desert in preparation for beginning his ministry. Lent is a time for preparation for us as well. We are to reflect on our sinful nature and our role in why Jesus died for us. And we are to seek out Christ in prayer, repentance, reflection, and meditation. Many modem Christians observe Lent by either giving something up (i.e. sweets, meat, internet, etc.) or by taking on new disciplines (i.e. special bible studies, community outreach, etc.). I pray that this Lenten Season proves to be meaningful and im portant to you all. Father Larry Jesion is the priest at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Waynesboro. The little church by the park. If you wish to learn more about the Episcopal church to speak with Fr. Jesion, the church office may be reached by dialing 706-554-3465. Look for Fr. Larry’s Lenten Journey series in the coming weeks.
