(NASA PHOTO via AP Wirephoto) Lent Season Begins With Daub Of Ashes y JULES LO H pea. 5 Press Staff Writer Christians will kneel before their altars today and receive a poignant reminder that the penitential season of Lent has begun. In Roman Catholic, Orthodox and some Episcopalian churches, parishioners will hear these words as the priest moves up and down the altar rail marking each brow with a cross-shaped daub of ashes: "Remember, man, that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return." Most Christian denominations in North America have aban- doned the traditional Ash Wed- mesday ceremony but all of »them, from now until Easter, will stress in their services the need for contrition and self- denial as repentance for the sins of mankind. The custom of marking fore. heads with ashes--which is not a mandatory observance for fol- lowers of any denomination-- dates back to about the eighth century. In the early church, penitents in Rome were ceremonially ad- mitted to begin their public penance of this day. When that discipline fell into disuse a gen- eral penance of the whole con- gregation, symbolized by. the use of ashes, took its place. The ashes are obtained by burning the palms left over from the previous Palm Sunday ceremonies. They are blessed in each church after an early morning mass. The word Lent originally meant spring. It gradually came to mean the period of Easter. But the fast wasn't al- ways 40 days (the six Sundays aren't counted) as it is today. And the rigor of the fast also has varied over the centuries. The customs of those who ob. serve the fast vary among de- nominations, but tend to follow this pattern: Only one full meal is allowed, plus two light collations which combined shouldn't amount to as much as the full meal. There may be no snacks between meals, and meat may be eaten only at the principal meal. In some areas, the days just before Ash Wednesday are re. served for one final burst of fun and feasting before the fasting begins. Mardi Gras, New Or- leans' traditional pre - Lenten festival, literally means "fat Tuesday." The word "carnival" comes from the Latin "carni "farewell to vale," meaning meat." In the first three centuries|. the fast generally didn't exceed|" 40 hours, but it was far more severe. Some strict observers ate nothing at all from Good Friday afternoon until Easter Sunday morning. The first mention of a 40-day preparatory period occurs in the canons of the Council of Nicaea in the year 325, though the emphasis was less on fast- ing than on prayer, recollection and other forms of self-exam. ination.
