At an Ash Wednesday service during my curacy, the woman next to me - a very Senior Lay Person - nudge me and said 'I never go up for ashing'. With my brand new pastoral antennae, I assumed this must relate to a spiritual problem and wondered what, if anything I should do. People started to go up the narrow aisle to be ashed, and returned with huge, dark, inky black crosses covering their whole foreheads, rather than the discreet grey crosses I was expecting. My neighbour nudged me and said 'That's why I don't go up - Brian always puts oil in it!' :DPam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952001402591649389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962731110719190549.post-55190414647215750912013-02-13T13:52:46.065-08:002013-02-13T13:52:46.065-08:00And make yours Fairly Traded Palestinian olive oil...And make yours Fairly Traded Palestinian olive oil (Zaytoun and all good Church Fair Trade stalls) and you'll be even truer to the spirit of pondering the mystery of God in it all....Lenten Snappershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503427500580345742noreply@blogger.com
