Lentorama 2017: Lenten Observers of Instagram

Day 1: In Case You Hadn't Noticed

Ash Wednesday is here! —Memento homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris. / Remember, man, that you are dust and unto dust you shall return. / Recuerda, hombre, que eres polvo y en polvo te convertirás. —With these words, and with the ashes from last year's palms being imposed on our foreheads, Catholics all around the world begin the season of Lent, a period of repentance and penitence in preparation for the Easter Triduum when we commemorate the Paschal Mysteries of the Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, the Lord. #AshWednesday #Ashtag #MiercolesDeCeniza #Lent #Cuaresma #Quaresima #Catholic #Priest #Ashes

I was not kidding when at the end of last year's Lentorama when I said this year would be based on Instagram. And to kick things off, a subtle reminder for Ash Wednesday (though at this point I don't know where you'd get ashes, at least in my neck of the woods). And while on the subject, I'll admit to a quick giggle at #Ashtag.
