Ash Wednesday, the day that marks the beginning of Lent, is a day that Christians set aside for contemplating their sins. In the Catholic church, Ash Wednesday is marked by fasting, abstinence from meat, and the application of ashes to the foreheads of the faithful. When applying Ash Wednesday ashes to members of the congregation, the pastor encourages the faithful to meditate on their origins, saying, Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return. The ashes we receive on Ash Wednesday serve as a visible reminder of our faith and the sacrifices we make to be closer to God.

At Saint Patrick's Guild we are committed to providing you with only the finest liturgical products. We take pride in our Ash Wednesday ashes, which have a beautiful and consistent texture and color and are free of chunks or other contaminants. Our Ash Wednesday ashes are double-bagged in high quality plastic to ensure that none are lost during mailing. This size package of Ash Wednesday ashes contains enough ashes for approximately 100 people.

Please note that our Ash Wednesday ashes are a seasonal item and are only stocked during the Lenten season.
