While the Catholic Church's observance of Ash Wednesday may be the most well known, many other denominations also celebrate the occasion.

The day is also known as the official countdown to Easter.

The celebration for many is marked by distributing ashes in the form of a cross on a person's forehead.

Kicking off the Lenten Season locally will be Emanuel's Lutheran Church and the Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church.

The church for the last several years has hosted its "Ashes to Go" at noon in the Guadalupe Valley Habitat for

Local restaurant shares special recipe with HEB customers

DAVILA, continued from page 1 "We've always aspired to be able to take this step as some of these other things and this started five years ago where we started getting the recipe mixed by somebody in order to bottle it and pitch it -- we didn't know (to) who but pitch it somewhere. We had it in the store kind of selling it on the side and then we came up with the label and then about a year ago, we decided to join the Quest for the Best contest with the rub and became a finalist and throughout that process finishing the label and the packaging and all the numbers and how it would be distributed and more so the learning process of how HEB's logistics work and the purchasing and all those things were quite a learning process," said Adrian.

Edward says he applauds Adrian for taking that initiative to not only compete in the contest but to also work through the logistics of making sure it all happens. "As Adrian said, this was a big aspiration for us. For years, we thought about doing it and thought about pitching it

really would have been proud of his product," said Edward.

to several of the stores but I just didn't know how to do it. Luckily, Adrian was able to figure a way of how to do it. In fact, he talked about the Quest for the Best (contest). Out of 800 something entries, we ended up being in the top 20 and then Adrian went and competed in Houston to finally make it to the shelf," said Edward.

The label on the BBQ rub bottle includes a photo of

Raul plus a small history of the 60 year-old recipe -- a recipe that has helped add "a little bit of magic and a whole lot of flavor to any meat, fish or fowl."

Although a special family recipe, Adrian says it is important for his family that the product be shared with others.

"A lot of people have also asked both of us why we were giving away our secrets?

Barbecue has this culture of secrecy but our view is if when they cook with our rub -- they are cooking with a part of who we are and our family's story and it's a beautiful thing in order for us to share with people our recipes and our flavors and the flavors of our community and that's a cool thing to us. We definitely don't see it in that way of sharing

More importantly, Edward says having a product on the shelf is more than just business.

He says it's a way of honoring his parents the late Raul Sr. and Geronima Davila.

Edward says his parents not only began Davila's but they are also the original recipe holders for the rub and all other ingredients that go into their food.

"The main thing about this, right here, my feeling is that I wish my dad who started the business and my mom were here to see this. He

some sort of secret thing. We want to share the love," said Adrian.

Adrian says he hopes finding the Davila's BBQ rub on HEB stores will also become a sense of pride for the entire community as he credits the community for helping to make the family business a success.

"What makes us proud is the legacy of our community because we know -- it says Seguin, Texas -- on that label so anybody that buys that throughout Texas will see that it is Seguin, Texas and that's where we come from. That's who we are and that's the food that we make which is formulated and shaped by our community. You cook how the people around you cook because we cook how Seguinites cook so this is definitely a representation of also our community of Seguin," said Adrian.

The 14 ounce bottle of barbecue rub retails for $7.98 at HEB. The packaged bottle can also be purchased at the local Davila's restaurant located on West Kingsbury Street.

We’re looking forward to meeting you!

White House Asks Congress For Cash To Fight Coronavirus

China Reverses Coronavirus Stance

(Washington, DC) -- The Trump administration is asking Congress for two-and-a-half-billion-dollars to fight the coronavirus. Over a billion-dollars of that would go towards developing a vaccine for the deadly respiratory illness. The White House says the money will also fund preparedness and response systems, as well as equipment and supplies. The disease has infected tens of thousands of people, mostly in mainland China, though it's starting to spread to other nations.

(Wuhan, China) -- Officials in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the deadly coronavirus outbreak, are reversing course on allowing some people to leave just hours after relaxing restrictions in place because of COVID-19. The government had briefly changed the rules to allow non-local residents to leave, provided they were healthy and agreed to be placed under a 14day quarantine at their destination. This, after China's National Health Commission reported its highest number of deaths in eleven days, with another 150 dead from the novel coronavirus. More than 26-hundred people have died of COVID-19 and there are more than 79thousand confirmed cases worldwide.

Trump Says Coronavirus "Under Control" In US (Undated) -- President Trump is trying to ease fears of the coronavirus. On Twitter, he said the respiratory illness is "very much under control in the USA." He said health officials in the U.S. are working with authorities in countries around the world. Despite the big sell off on Wall Street over fears about the virus's spread, Trump said the stock market is "starting to look very good" to him.

Coronavirus Cases Rise In Italy, 'Dramatic Measures' Being Taken (Rome, Italy) -- Coronavirus cases are on the rise in Italy and measure are being taken to fight the disease. A government official says five people have died. More than 90 others are being isolated at home as they fight the virus. Most of the cases are in the region that includes Milan. That has led to the city's famous cathedral to no longer allow tourists. There will also be no school in Milan this week.
