Catholic Holy Day observed 40 days prior to Good Friday, where believers walk around with dirt X on their forehead in order to flaunt their holiness.
Normal Guy: Dude, you have some dirt on your face
Jesus-Freak: Really? I wasn't aware. It must be my pure righteousness made manifest, seeping through my earthly pores. Bow to me!

The day where Christians get "ashed" to remind themselves of their own mortality and the need to repent. also the traditional start of lent.

Dude 1: *inhale* OW!! F*CK!! SHIT!! *cough* GODDAMN IT!! *cough*
Dude 2: Dude, what happened?
Dude 1: Ash Wednesday!!
