Oudtshoorn, 21 February 2026: On Ash Wednesday the little ones attending Aviat Crèche in Ceres, got Lent off to a tremendous start by receiving the traditional ash cross, marking the start of the Lenten season.
Needless to say that the litugry serves to remind us that we are dust and to dust we shall return. God’s message to the prophet Joel reminded us our Lenten observances are to interrupt us in our everyday activities and give us opportunities to reveal the sovereignty of God. The little ones might not yet fully understand the central message and discipline of the season, but eagerly partook in the imposition of the ashes ceremony.
In Ceres het die jonges van Aviat Creche op Aswoensdag die Vastyd op ’n kragtige manier begin met die ontvangs van die askruisie op hulle voorkoppe. Awoensdag herinner ons dat ons stof is, en tot stof sal ons terugkeer. God se boodskap aan die profeet Joël herinner ons dat ons vastydsgebruike bedoel is om ons daaglikse roetine te onderbreek en vir ons geleenthede te gee om God se Almagtigheid te openbaar.
