    The custom of attending at Mass on Ash Wednesday to receive blessed ashes from the priest is observed by almost everyone. For those who cannot attend Mass ashes are taken home.
    People say you shouldn't throw out ashes on Ash Wednesday.
    Sometimes children tie or pin paper bags of ashes on people's backs on the eve of Ash Wednesday.
