Burning Palms

The ashes we use for Ash Wednesday are burned from the palms we used to shout "Hosanna!" from last year's Palm Sunday.



"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean."
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me."
"O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise."
- Psalm 51

"You are dust, and to dust you shall return."
- Genesis 3:19
