    Biblical significance

    Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance and it marks the beginning of Lent. Ashes were used in ancient times, according to the Bible, to express mourning. Dusting oneself with ashes was the penitent's way of expressing sorrow for sins and faults. An ancient example of one expressing one's penitence is found in Job 42:3-6. Job says to God: "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." (vv. 5-6, KJV) Other examples are found in several other books of the Bible including, Numbers 19:9, 19:17, Jonah 3:6, Matthew 11:21, and Luke 10:13, and Hebrews 9:13.

    Sa old times sign of the cross are used to drive away evil.
    So kung manguros mo sa atubangan sa pari,
    para na pagdrive sa evil sa inyong atubangan. joke. hehehe

    kana man gud cross is a sign sa kadaugan sa Ginoo. mao nga kung maka kita ang demonyo ug cross mo walkout gyud na siya kay dili niya ma take nga napildi siya.

    Its a symbol of death - 2 meanings - when you will die as Christians we become ashes - the meaning of the cross - Jesus died and make sacrifices to us believers that God has forgiven our sins. That's what I've learned from the homily today. I received the ashes in my forehead as a symbol in the celebration of the Lenten season.
