TaylorSwift 162,381 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 A priest in the Republic of Ireland has made "takeaway ashes" available for parishioners to administer at home on Ash Wednesday. Fr Brian Brady teamed up with a shop in Clonmany, County Donegal, to provide holy ashes in sauce containers. Covid-19 restrictions in the country means all church services must be conducted online. Fr Brady told BBC News NI it was vitally important that traditions continued through the pandemic. "A lot of our parishioners would come every year for their ashes and it's so important that we honour those traditions - even at these most difficult times," he said. "We really did have to stretch the old imagination on this one though." https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 12,762 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Odd, but really responsible of them. You don't know how much people cling to beliefs just to function, and that's not a bad thing. Very creative, I like it. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholics traditionally attend a Mass at which their foreheads are marked with ash in the shape of a cross. Lent is traditionally described as lasting for 40 days, in commemoration of the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert. This period is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities. https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
