Five women stand close together outdoors in front of a stone church with arched windows and a circular stained-glass feature. Each has an ash cross marked on her forehead, suggesting Ash Wednesday. The woman in the center holds a small brown dachshund wearing a green jacket. They are dressed in winter clothing—sweaters, jackets, leggings, and sweatpants—and smiling at the camera. A large tree and adjacent church buildings are visible in the background under a partly cloudy blue sky.

A large crowd of people wearing winter coats, hats, and scarves walks together down a city street during light snowfall, viewed from behind. Some people carry umbrellas, including a colorful striped one, while others wear bright safety vests.
