I thought Mormonism was weird but at least you get extra kitty if you play by 1830s Core Rules.
I went to the store today and every single Mexican there had way more dirt on their face than usual. It turns out it's some r-slurred Catholic ritual where they smear burnt leaves on your face.

I'm on Wikipedia right now, and right before Ash Wednesday they have "Shrove Tuesday," aka "Pancake Tuesday."
I'm calling bullshit, there's no such thing as fricking Pancake Tuesday, the Papists are fricking with us now.
And "Shrovetide" is supposed to be three weeks of PRE-LENT which is six weeks all by itself?

The only time free of bullshit is summer. Fall begins with all saints which segues into advent, which then goes into Christmas and afterwards 3 kings. Then you're immediately into shrovetide and Lent, then easter, then AFTER its the assumption or w/e and then after that it's something with Mary. Finally you get a brief reprieve (though you can celebrate other obscure feast days or maybe go on a pilgramage) before it starts all over again

It's not sand, it's the ashes of the burnt palms from Palm Sunday. The symbolism is that all worldly acclaim and glory fades, and the inescapable reality for us all is death - "from dust we come and to dust we return", hence why we need to get right with God.

Idk it's the weirdest thing because they kept telling us it's from the fronds but I never saw anyone return them.
Likely the church wholesaler burns the leftovers and then supplies holy ashes or smth

That's probably it, a centralized grower and burner and then they distribute the ashes

Everything in the church comes from a catalog. It's incredibly sacrilegious imo but what a niche market to be in

didn't Jesus get pissed off at dudes selling stuff by the church

Yeah
Mammon won. Back in the olden days monks or nuns would make a lot of church goods like candles, wine, Eucharist. Artisans (themselves believers) would make the rest.
As monasteries and convents collapsed private enterprise bought out the market. I think there is one convent left where they bake Eucharist still.
Megachurches even have tithing ATMs in the lobbies

The Wednesday before Easter is Spy Wednesday (because of Judas' betrayal of Jesus). American Protestantism amuses me because they spend about a hundred years re-inventing the wheel with their own version of Christianity, then have no idea of universal global and historical customs.

America refused to celebrate Christmas for like 80 years because it was too papist
