Ash Wednesday - Year B
A joyful Lent? Easy.
On Ash Wednesday, Christians meet for a celebration where there is an "imposition of ashes". This is a sign of penitence.
The gesture is a cross which the priest makes on each person's forehead, together with some words. "Convert yourselves and believe in the Gospel" or "Remember that you once were dust and you will go back to dust".
Depending on the priest, the gesture isn't always the same...
What about you? Which one of those were you?
If anyone says 6, I may not quite believe him...
