M.F., Oxford, EnglandĪ: These and similar questions are often asked at this time of year leading up to Lent. Q2: Is there a correct way of imposing the ashes? I note that in Rome the ashes are sprinkled on top of people's heads, but in other parts of the world the ash is marked on the foreheads. Is this also proper? - D.O., Mombasa, Kenya Is this permitted? Further, in addition to the priest and nuns, a lay faithful from the congregation came forward and assisted with administering the ashes/liquid. At one such Mass, I noticed that what was placed on everybody was a liquid mixture of ashes and water. Q1: During Ash Wednesday Masses, ashes are placed on the head of all those present who come forward for it. Answered by Legionary of Christ Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy and dean of theology at the Regina Apostolorum university.
