How this count works, and questions
How this count works
This date is 46 days before Easter Sunday.
Uses the Western Christian calendar. Orthodox dates may differ. This is not a recurring US federal day off.

From November 4, 2026 in New York, February 10, 2027 is 98 days away. The span contains 70 weekdays and 28 weekend days.
Questions about this countdown
Does the count include today?
No. The count leaves out today and includes Ash Wednesday itself. The day before, it shows 1 day. On Ash Wednesday, it shows 0 days.
Which time zone does the count use?
Your device's time zone, named on the Today line at the top of the page. Choose another time zone in the form to count to midnight there instead.
Why might another countdown show a different number?
Some countdowns also count today, or count full 24-hour periods. This page counts calendar dates. The clock under the answer shows the exact time left until midnight at the start of Ash Wednesday.
Is Ash Wednesday a public holiday in the US?
No. Ash Wednesday is an observance. It is not one of the legal public holidays listed in federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103), so it is not a federal day off. States, schools and employers set their own schedules.
