Each week, the five Faith and Values sites compile their top photos to give you a glance at what is happening in communities around the country.

This week's mix, of course, features Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. But we've also got a quinceanero – the first in one North Carolina town – and an Ohio Womanpriest ordination.
