[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No need to say anything, just don’t say “you’ve got something on your forehead”[/quote]

Ditto -- it is not a day to be celebrated and it is observed only by getting ashes on your forehead while being reminded that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Isn’t the point to remind other people? Otherwise the ashes could just be inside your wrist or something. [/quote]

I get my ashes on the inside of my wrist.[/quote]

pp here...also I am as far from Catholic as you can be, and our church imposes ashes. So you can't assume denomination either.

I'm someone who has been assuming Catholic. I'm not assuming that because of ashes.  I'm assuming it because she said the Stone Ridge student volunteers are coming to bring them.

I'll also point out that there is no obligation in Catholicism to keep the ashes on.  In my family about half will and half, including me, won't.  It's a choice.  [/quote]
