Cycle B Gospel Text Sermons for Lent and Easter
"Ashes, ashes, we all fall down," that refrain from a children's song says much in terms of the way people now and in ancient times thought of ashes. There has always been symbolism to the way that ashes were used and at times displayed on the face, or the entire body. Even today we see pictures of tribal people covered in ashes as they celebrate or mourn an event.
