Ash Wednesday Activity

This activity is perfect for introducing children to the meaning of Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent in the Christian calendar. The simple black-and-white drawing represents a child holding a banner with the words “Ash Wednesday.”

Activity Description:
Children can color the picture, adding their own personal touch. Encourage them to draw a small cross on the forehead of the figure, symbolizing the ashes received during the Ash Wednesday service. This activity is a great opportunity to explain the significance of the ashes as a sign of repentance and the beginning of the journey toward Easter.
