    all it represents 40 days from ash wednesday,to in my opinion only the most important event of all time ,Christ on the cross.Ash wednesday is the begginning and is only to remind us from dust we came to dust we return. after we die the body slowly rots and disinigrates into dust. The black ashes come from the palms when they are burnt. A sign of the cross is then put on their foreheads. The forty days are meant for prayer and to fast. when people fast they tend to pray and create an inner peace.Instead the people you saw with the ashes were all over 70 instead of giving up certain temptations they are at casinos gambling showing off what good christians they are not. Simular to when Christ threw all the people out of the area where they were to meet to pray, they were selling goods and also gambling. See a tie in?

    Lot's of strange rituals with religion. I've always found this one funny but honestly it's nothing compared to some of the things people do.
