creating ash wednesday
'''Ash Wednesday''' is the first day of [[Lent]] as observed by [[Roman Catholic]] churches. Burnt palms from the previous year's [[Palm Sunday]] are blessed and then used to mark crosses on the foreheads of participants.
Ash Wednesday has pagan origins and was made a part of the [[Catholic Church]] under the direction of [[Constantine]], a few hundred years after the Christ.
