Ash Miercoles


Experiencing Ash Wednesday in Mexico was so unique. As you walk on the street, person after person had ashes on their forehead. I expected to attend a special AW mass but instead there was a priest at the front of the local church giving ashes. I wondered if he just stood there all day waiting. And the answer was yes...he didn't really have any downtime. I've never seen so many people pour into a church for ashes.

Also, instead of making the ashes in the sign of the cross, there was a nifty stamp he used. Very chic!
