omg did you not see the many other Catholics on air that day that had ashes? You obviously have not been around many Catholics on Ash Wednesdays. Here's a few from different times.
right, like my 88 year old mother, geez get a grip
i can only answer about Catholics. I was born and raised in that organization but left it decades ago. Wikipedia short version - Ash Wednesday derives its name from the placing of repentance ashes on the foreheads of participants to either the words "Repent, and believe in the Gospel" or the dictum "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." The ashes are prepared by burning palm leaves from the previous year's Palm Sunday celebrations.
My 88 year old mom was snowed in in Ohio for Ash Wednesday. She was very upset that she couldn't get to church to get her ashes. i asked her if she still had her Plam leaves from last year. She said, "Of course." I told her to get a piece of aluminum foil and burn them and then do it herself. She said, "they are blessed aren't they?" I told her yes. So she did and she felt way better. Bless her heart.
I see what you are trying to do there, anon. kek.
