Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation.  However, it is strongly advisable since it is fitting to mark the beginning of penitential season of Lent by going to Mass.  It is a day of fasting and abstinence. For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.
