2/18/2026 Ash Wednesday Service
Tonight was Ash Wednesday and I attended evening service and received the Ashes on my forehead. I managed to quickly smear them out of the nice cross shape. My outfit is based on the purple of the liturgical calendar. I have a light purple dressshirt, a purple blazer, purple narrow brim fedora, white pocket square with a purple window pane and a purple and white striped tie. I am also wearing tan trousers and grey and burgundy saddle shoes. I took a picture with my hat tipped back so you can see the ashes in the one picture but then took a headshot when I arrived home sto get a better picture of the ashes
