Suburban Christians mark Ash Wednesday in churches and train stations | |
|
February 13, 2013 Clergy from churches across the suburbs helped commuters mark the beginning of Lent on Wednesday by taking the imposition of ashes outside church walls and onto Metra platforms. The "Ashes to Go" movement got its start in this area in 2009 and 2010. Last year it was offered in 21 states and this year residents of London and Cape Town, South Africa, are said to be participating for the first time.
