With Easter on March 23rd, Ash Wednesday caught me off guard.
Here’s what you need to know about the 2008 Lenten calendar and where you can attend an Ash Wednesday service in Brentwood, Tennessee.
In 2008, Easter Sunday falls on March 23.
That makes Ash Wednesday THIS Wednesday, February 6th.
Only one more day to prepare!
Mardis Gras, also called Shrove Tuesday, is traditionally the one last celebration before the relative deprivation of Lent. The faithful would use up all sweets and fats before fasting.
Lent lasts 40 days. The Sunday before Easter is called Palm Sunday. In 2008 Palm Sunday falls on March 16.
Lent is broken by Easter Sunday church services in Brentwood, Tennessee.
I’m a wife, mom, and resident of Brentwood, Tennessee. I love finding fun new things to see and do in the Brentwood area! Most recently, I’ve enjoyed blogging about my pregnancy with baby #3.
