  1. Ash Wednesday

    Share Share Post
    Ash Wednesday was on the 2nd of March this year. We sometimes tie paper on our teachers's back on that day. Some people get bags of ashes and pin them on the tails of men's coats.
    People used to tie peoples feet together. Once there was a man who had a bag tied to his coat and he was going about the whole day without knowing it.
