Pepelnica, Čista Srijeda
Pepelnica je kršćanski blagdan. Obilježava prvi dan korizme koja traje do Uskrsa (period o 46 dana) i dan je pokajanja. Datum na koji pada Pepelnica mijenja se svake godine.
Ime Pepelnica dolazi od pepela kojim se obilježavalo čelo vjernika, što je bio način žalovanja zbog smrti Isusove. Pepeo se maže u obliku križa. Različite kršćanske vjeroispovjesti obilježavaju taj dan na različite načine, neki održavaju cjelodnevni post, a drugima je dozvoljeno uzimati kruh i vodu. Većina se uzdržava od konzumiranja mesa. Neki održavaju post tijekom cijelog korizmenog vremena, sve do Uskrsa.
