Ash Wednesday
Duke Chapel will hold two services for Ash Wednesday (February 22), one at 8:00 a.m. and the other at 7:00 p.m. Both services include the imposition of ashes and a litany of penitence.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. It 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.
