Ash Wednesday Observation In Philippines
A Catholic lay minister applies a cross of ashes to the forehead of a devotee during an Ash Wednesday mass at a cathedral in Antipolo City, Philippines, on February 18, 2026. The ritual, performed with ashes made from burnt palm fronds from the previous year's Palm Sunday, marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and reflection for Christians (Photo by Ryan Eduard Benaid/NurPhoto).
