Ash Wednesday

 Ash Wednesday - Lent begins.

"Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return" 

A Rare Occurence in February 2026.

Today, February 18, is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent for millions of Christians. On this day Muslims observe the start of the holy month of Ramadan with the sighting of the crescent moon. Both faiths emphasize fasting, repentance, and almsgiving during this period, with Ash Wednesday (Lent) and the start of Ramadan falling at the same time.

Devotion and Discipline:

 

Both encourage believers to focus on prayer and acts of goodness during their respective holy seasons and shared beliefs:

Shrove Tuesday

 

Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is the final day before Lent, a 40-day Christian fasting period before Easter, celebrated with feasting, particularly pancakes, to use up rich ingredients like eggs, butter, and sugar that would be forbidden during Lent.

Swiss Chapel, Mapusa, Bardez, Goa.

(The "Swiss Chapel" in Mapusa, Goa, isn't named after Switzerland, but rather commemorates a battle victory against the Bhonsles and Ranes from Sawantwadi by Portuguese troops known as "suíças" (meaning "with sideburns"). A mock battle was staged at Carnival during the Portuguese era.

The original was a hand pyrographic (woodburning) drawing that I had done a few years ago on an oval piece of basswood. Then recently, I scanned that drawing  and rendered the same in water colours and made print on paper for framing purposes.
