A couple of days ago you may have seen a bunch of people walking around with dirt on their foreheads: they were Catholics and the dirt was really ash in the shape of a cross pressed against their foreheads by someone who's probably implicated, or about to be, in some case of child abuse. Oh yeah, he's also wearing a large dress... Don't say I didn't warn you :)Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the season of preparation for the resurrection of Jesus, and his subsequent meeting with the Eastern Bunny, on Eastern Sunday, or something like that... And the tradition is to give up something that really matters to you for forty days. Stephen Colbert decided to give up his religion :)
But you can't just eat bacon to be Jew... you also have to walk the walk...
And by that I guess I meant talk the guilt trip :)
