In the Liturgical year, the first day of Lent. The Jewish and Christian [scriptures] mention prayer and repentence while fasting and being covered in ash and sackcloth; so, the Catholics started marking the beginning of Lent by putting ash on their foreheads. It's a tradition that extends back about 1,000 years. The ashes are made from the burnt palm branches used on Palm Sunday of the previous year. Although it's not a holiday of [obligation], Catholics flock to mass on Ash [Wednesday] to get their ashes and begin lent. Although many prayers are now used when the ashes are being administered, the old-time prayer everyone knows is: Remember Man that you are Dust And unto Dust you shall return.
