Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Christian season of Lent and a sign of penitence. During Lent, Christians must fast and give up things they like. The Lenten season lasts for 46 days.
On Ash Wednesday, Christians go to mass and receive ashes on their foreheads in the sign of the cross. It is a reminder of from “Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust”. It means that we came from dust and we shall return to dust, referring to our earthly bodies, not our souls. Did you Know? The ashes you receive are from the prior years palms.

I have had an infatuation with elephants for years, not even sure how it got started but it is there. I am going to bring you opportunities to find interesting and unique items that are elephant related. This will be a fun adventure that will feed my passion and I hope brings you some unique items to look at and purchase. Hope you are having an awesome day.
