Catholics! Are you getting ashed today?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

No idea if "ashed" is the right term, but you know what I mean. Honestly surprised I remembered to do this, given that every single Sunday I intend on going to evening mass, it slips my mind until I go to bed. But I saw someone walking on campus with 'em and dug up a school email to find out where to get them, figuring that I should at least do one thing every liturgical season.

Of course.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

How many times have you been asked "why do you have dirt on your forehead?"

(It was a struggle, but I put on a coat and went back to bed immediately.)

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

Nope, I am sick and lying in bed (almost) all day

[DavidB.]

I had literally never heard of this until a friend of mine posted about this on Facebook today.

[rpryor03]

7pm mass. (Episcopalian, but that's close enough.)

[they don't love you like i love you]

I've yet to see a single person with ashes today which I think underscores my point about Catholicism in Minneapolis well.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Yes, tho at a Lutheran church.

Haven't seen a Catholic church do it, but a local (New Orleans) Methodist church provides a drive thru ash service

I've never done it (Lutheran) but it's a very common thing to see around here.  Of course, schools are closed and many people don't work the day after Mardi Gras anyway.

OK I did one now. An older woman at Target.

[Higgs]

Ugh I forgot.

[TJ in Oregon]

Yup. Just got back from Mass. If you go at 9:30 pm no will see you afterward to ask

Wow, you interacted with an old?! Geez. You know there's a good chance she's a Hillary voter.

Shopping at the same store as her at the same time isn't exactly "interacting".

Also I doubt she's a Hillary voter. She's probably one of the few Republicans in Minneapolis or was a Republican from the suburbs coming through.

Oh, I had assumed she was an employee.

Having worked at Target in the past I am quite confident they wouldn't allow that for sanitary reasons.

[Illiniwek]

I got very ashed.

[MaxQue]

No, nobody did that in decades in Catholic Quebec.

I'm not even sure churches around here do it (and that's the few that are having a mass on other days than Sunday).

[Classic Conservative]

Yes, I went twice yesterday once with my school and once with my parents.

[Ebsy]

I did. Lots of people with ashes at a liberal arts school in Northeastern Missouri, which surprised me a bit.
