Hello everyone,
This Wednesday marks Ash Wednesday, a significant day for many Christian communities as the start of Lent—a 40-day period of reflection, fasting, and preparation for Easter. Many who observe may attend church services, receive ashes on their forehead, or follow fasting traditions. The ashes, often in the shape of a cross, symbolize humility, repentance, and renewal.
As we go about our work, let’s be mindful and respectful of those observing. If possible, consider scheduling fewer meetings that day to allow space for religious observance.
For those observing, we hope you have a meaningful and blessed Ash Wednesday. If you need flexibility for religious observance, please coordinate with your manager as needed.
Thanks for fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace!

Observing Ash Wednesday at work
Ash Wednesday is a Christian observance that marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and repentance leading up to Easter. It takes place on the Wednesday after Shrove Tuesday and is recognized by many denominations, including Catholics, Anglicans, and some Protestant churches. During Ash Wednesday services, worshippers receive ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross as a symbol of mortality, repentance, and the call to turn away from sin. The ashes are traditionally made from the burnt palms of the previous year’s Palm Sunday.
