On Palm Sunday, people go to mass in the morning. Children carry palm leaves to be blessed by the priest. Boys carry a simple palm branch, and the girls carry a branch that has been decorated. They often have sweets, tinsel or other decorations hanging from them.
In Christian churches, Ash Wednesday is the first day of the penitential season of Lent, so called from the ceremony of placing ashes on the foreheadas a sign of penitence. In the Roman Catholic church, ashes obtained from burned palm branches of the previous Palm Sunday are blessed before masson Ash Wednesday. The priest places the blessed ashes on the foreheadsof the officiating priests, the clergy, and the congregation, while reciting over each one the following formula: "Remember that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return".
Lent is a period of fasting and penitence traditionally observed by Christians in preparation for Easter. The length of the Lenten fast, during which observants eat sparingly, was established in the 4th century as 40 days.The 40-day period begins on Ash Wednesday and extends, with the omissionof Sundays, to the day before Easter. The Roman Catholic church has in recent years relaxed its laws on fasting and nowadays fasting and abstinenceduring Lent are obligatory only on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
