It's not just a Catholic thing, it's more of a Christian thing. Although the Catholics like going to church today and walk around the rest of the day with ashes on their forehead to show how religious/faithful they are... :roll:
I usually wipe mine off. Problem is that those ashes are from blessed palm leaves and you aren't supposed to allow those ashes to go down a sewer drain or anything like that.
Oh brother...... :zipit:
You're supposed to turn in the palm you got the year prior. They burn them down and then use the ashes on Ash Wednesday.
My mom used to work at a church and we learned quite a bit from that. I never got to go to bible classes and that. I kinda cheated the system and got the crash course.
Just because someone can call me Mom now doesn't mean I am gonna be Betty Freakin Cocker and bake any pies.

It is the official first day of Lent. 450 days from now is Easter. I just realized I gotta go to church tonight, damn. I need to look up the times.
450 days is a long time.
Oops.. damn, typo. I meant 40 days.
