Ash Wednesday 2023 falls on February 22. This annual observance is a holy day of prayer and fasting in many Western Christian denominations. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent.

Lent is known to be the religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, before beginning his public ministry. This religious observance leads up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of christ or Easter Day. During the period of Lent, many believers avoid eating non-vegetarian food, follow a strict fast and focus on revisiting the teachings of Jesus Christ.
