Ash Wednesday: Lent Begins

Fri, 20 Feb 2015

This year's Ash Wednesday or Rabu Abu, which is the first day of Lent, was on 17 February 2015 and was celebrated in St Bellarmine Chapel of Sanata Dharma University, Mrican, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Based on Oxford Learner's Dictionaries only, the definition of Lent is "in the Christian Church, the period of 40 days from Ash Wednesday to the day before Easter, during which some Christians give up some type of food or activity that they enjoy in memory of Christ’s suffering" (www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com).
