Ash Wednesday service and marking with ash cross in the parish church in St. Gilgen.
The term Ash Wednesday stems from the tradition of blessing worshippers on this day with an ash cross using ash from the previous years burned Palm Sunday crosses.
As Sundays do not count as days of fasting, the total number of days of fasting in the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Saturday is 46.
