Here is the worship guide for this service: https://chapel.duke.edu/sites/default/files/02.18.26-Ash-Wednesday-7-pm.pdf .
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Ash Wednesday occurs forty days before Easter, not including six Sundays (which are considered feast days), and recalls Jesus's forty days in the wilderness, itself mirroring the Israelites' forty years in the desert. During this service, ministers mark those who attend with ashes as a reminder that "we are dust, and to dust we shall return."
