Yesterday was what some people would call "Ash Wednesday". It's well known in the catholic and episcopalian faith. I'm a Christian and attended an Episcopal school for about five years and I remember every year going to the chapel and attending the Ash Wednesday service.
I never really understood the meaning of it, until I was older. My memories were always watching all of the pictures and things of value in the chapel get covered in purple until it was Easter. My favorite part was receiving the communion and the ashes of cross on my forehead. I was told that we were supposed to sacrifice something so I would always give up something, but never kept it.
Now that I'm older and understand the true meaning, I actually go through with it. This year I have decided to give up Nutella and all sweet delicious foods. This is going to be super hard for me since I'm a Nutellaholic and Ice Creamaholic. I know with a lot of praying and keeping my mind in the right I can do it. For everyone else that has given up something for the next 40 days, remember you can do it!
