Ash Wednesday

I guess I just wasn’t paying attention to the calendar because I was surprised yesterday to see so many people with ash marks on their heads today. Everywhere I went I saw a lot of people with black smudges on their foreheads. I never really understood what Ash Wednesday was about, the religious significance of it, why it’s done, pretty much anything about it. I remember as a kid I asked my parents about it and they just told me “that’s something the Catholics do on Ash Wednesday.’ And then I said “oh” and left it at that. I’ve thought about asking someone who has ashes on their forehead about it, but did not want to seem stupid. I guess I’ll google it!
