Ash Wednesday
Today is one of those days that present some discordance in the Christian Calendar. Both sides of the fence believe in Easter and therefore, holding the fist day of Lent doesn’t seem too much a problem. What is the real trouble is the custom of placing ashes upon your body in celebration of this time. In Mathew 6:16-18 Jesus made His position clear about fasting.

Ash Wednesday Adventist
say this practice is pagan Scriptures don’t
support it, so take heed Bajan Holy Savior
didn’t advocate that we Wear ashes
on our foreheads to show solidarity Exalt the
Lord but not like the hypocrites Don’t look
dismal and wear your body in fits Never let
your brothers see that you fast Endorse God’s
love but not with this pagan mast So many
celebrate this day, the first day of Lent Dependent
on Easter, 46 days prior till Easter it is spent And so, in acknowledgement
of Easter, in a Christian way You can
still recognize each other and say Happy Ash Wednesday |
