Have you never read the story of Jonah and his preaching in Nineveh? The people repented, put on sackcloth and sat in ashes.

It IS in the Bible!

I did read about the pagans in Nineveh. Thank God they repented. That said, we are talking about the Church.

Ashes are a reminder that we are to die to ourselves, to LOVE God and LOVE others.
