Throughout the day Wednesday, the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York will be offering Ashes to Go, a new approach on a centuries old tradition in the Christian tradition.

You'll find a full list of those locations posted below, you can also visit their website here.

In the Christian faith, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the holy season of Lent. It's a six-week period of prayer, repentance and reflection in the lead-up to Easter.

Wednesday morning, Matt Bove will be live at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Orchard Park, taking a closer look at faith, religion and its role in the modern world.
