On March 5, the faithful will gather in churches throughout Bandra to mark Ash Wednesday, signaling the start of Lent—a significant season in the Christian calendar. Worshippers will receive ashes on their foreheads, a poignant symbol made from last year’s Palm Sunday palms, reminding us of our mortality and the call to repentance. This marks the beginning of a 40-day journey leading up to Easter Sunday, encouraging reflection and spiritual growth.
