March 6th is Ash Wednesday 2019.
Ash Wednesday is the traditional start of the Lenten season in many Western Christian denominations. Depending on the branch of Christianity, it is observed with fasting, a ritual with ashes, and religious services. Many also give up something for Lent, such as meat, or engage in some kind of public or social service.
