When is Ash Wednesday? Dates through 2036
How the date is set
Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter Sunday. It can fall anywhere from February 4 to March 10.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in Western Christian churches. Lent is counted as 40 days of fasting; the six Sundays before Easter are not counted, which is why Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter.
Good to know
- It is always a Wednesday.
- The day before is Mardi Gras, or Shrove Tuesday.
How this countdown counts
The timer runs to midnight at the start of Ash Wednesday in your own time zone. "Days until" counts calendar days, so tomorrow is always 1 day away. After the day has passed, the countdown moves on to next year by itself.
