LENT - There are people walking around with crosses on their foreheads!

One of the worst things about growing up Catholic was Lent. We had to go to church, and have a cross marked with ashes on our foreheads. Then walk around all day looking silly! (I used to wash it off immediately before going to school). Yes. I guess I was a bad Catholic! LOL!
I am noticing some adults running around town with a cross on their foreheads. LOL!

My mom never was very religious because her mother was too religous, it was her mother who always went into church when the bells rang, therefore while I grow up I visited church only from time to time and yet only if I´m forced to do like funerals and the christening of my niece last year.
That´s interesting, only in New Orleans? I´m glad carinval is over, I don´t care much for it but in Germany first people celebrate carinval and then the lent but nobody really cares about the lent nowadays...
