hehe I told a lady I saw at work that she had a smidgeon of grease on her forehead. She told me it was for Lent. Then another one came in and I didn't question it, altho neither did I understand it. I've never seen anyone do this before. No one in Hawaii does it. I understand now that it has some sort of religious significance, but what's it mean?
That grease on her forehead indicates that lent has started. She probably went to an Ash Wed. service and the pastor put that on her indicating god's ashes.
