• Just want to get a sense and see I\'m the only one still following tradition:
  
  - Is anyone getting ashes today
  - Is anyone fasting today
  - Is anyone abstaining from eating meat today

  I apologize.  What I meant to say is does anyone follow the religious law surrounding fasting and abstinence for Ash Wednesday and Good Friday; also abstaining from eating meat on Fridays during lent.  I do and I wanted to know if I was alone in this practice...

  I think you may be good dave... I think that if you believe in your heart that the burnt cornmeal is ashes, by dogmatic law, they will in fact be seen as ashes...

  I was raised catholic and I always found this funny. I honor Jesus dying from crucifixtion I\'m not going to eat meat on Friday.  That\'s like saying in honor of the veterans who lost a limb in service of our country I will trim my fingernails.
