Why do millions of Catholics flock to church on a random Wednesday to have dirt rubbed on their foreheads? It’s not a Holy Day of Obligation, yet the pews are packed.

In this video, we go beyond the surface of "giving up chocolate" to explore the profound theology of Ash Wednesday. We look at the biblical roots of ashes (from Job to the King of Nineveh), the reality of Memento Mori ("Remember your death"), and the true freedom found in repentance.

In this video, you will learn: 🌿 The History: Why ancient Israelites sat in ashes and why we do it today. 💀 The Theology: The difference between "Remember you are dust" and "Repent and Believe." 🐟 The Rules: A clear breakdown of Catholic Fasting vs. Abstinence (and who is exempt!). 🙏

The Challenge: Why you shouldn't wipe the ashes off when you leave church.
