Ash Wednesday is Tammuz worship.
DO NOT PARTICIPATE
In the Old Testament, God lost His shit when His people started performing pagan rites in the temple. This led directly to the mass slaughter of the kingdom of Judah and then the Babylonian Captivity.
>Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
>Ezekiel 8:14 KJV
