Ash Wednesday is a significant day in the Christian liturgical calendar, marking the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, reflection, and penance leading up to Easter. It falls 46 days before Easter Sunday (since Sundays are not included in the traditional fast) and is observed by many Western Christian denominations, including Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, and some Protestant communities.
