Philippines' Ash Wednesday Observation
Catholic faithful line up to receive ash marks in the shape of a cross on their foreheads following the Ash Wednesday mass in Antipolo City, Philippines, on March 5, 2025. Ash Wednesday is a major day on the Christian calendar, especially among Catholics. Ash Wednesday kicks off the Lenten season, which lasts 40 days and culminates with Easter Sunday. Ashes are frequently applied to the forehead in the shape of a cross to represent atonement for transgressions and connection to Christ's suffering. (Photo by Ryan Eduard Benaid/NurPhoto)
