Communities in Faith: Ashes to Go
Rev. Sandye Wilson brings her altar to the commuters at South Orange Train Station.
On Ash Wednesday, Rev. Sandye Wilson carried her altar to the world, ministering ashes for morning commuters at the South Orange Train Station.
"Ash Wednesday" is a day of penitence that marks the beginning of the Christian season of Lent.
Setting out before the sun rose at 5:45 a.m., Wilson placed palm ashes on the foreheads of dozens on commuters boarding Midtown Direct trains for work in New York City.
