Come and  begin the Lenten season 

So named from the ashing ceremony that takes place during Mass placing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of repentance. The ashes come from burning of last year's palm crosses. As the priest makes the sign of the cross on the forehead he reminds us of our mortality by announcing "dust thou art and dust shalt thou return".
