For Christians, Ash Wednesday signifies the beginning of the season of Lent which extends over 40 days and culminates with Easter. Services are held in churches of most Christian denominations and a key ritual is the smearing of ash on a personâs forehead, in the shape of a cross.
In Biblical times, ashes were a sign of sorrow and repentance. People would sit in sack cloth and ashes as they mourned or repented. Though we donât know why ashes were included in âRing around the Rosie,â we can say for sure why ashes are used on Ash Wednesday. Because we all fall down.
