What is Ash Wednesday? Why do Christians intentionally smudge their faces with soot? I remember seeing people around town with cross-shaped ashes on their foreheads back when I was a kid, but I don't remember that ever happening at our church. So what is this about, and is it for normal people and outsiders, or only for people who already go to a certain kind of church?
