In Spain, they kinda just casually toss ashes on top of your head instead of forming a cross on your forehead.

It seemed kinda lame to me at first, but then I thought of how you toss dirt onto the coffin when you bury someone.

And I realized, rather than smudging our foreheads, they're actually acting like they're burying us, so they're tossing ashes on us as if we were already in our graves.

Deep.

I'm praying for you!
