Dirt On My Forehead?

Why are we talking about ashes now?

We wanted to share this episode with you now rather than waiting months to make it available. And, we are entering into another period of preparation, Advent!

Join Daisy & Sheep as they talk about the ashes that we receive as Catholics on Ash Wednesday.

READ WITH YOUR CHILDREN:

On Ash Wednesday, we go to church and receive ashes on our foreheads in the shape of a cross. These ashes remind us to turn away from sin and follow Jesus. The priest or deacon often says, “Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” reminding us that our life on Earth is short, but our souls are forever!

Fun Fact: 

The ashes used on Ash Wednesday come from burning the blessed palms from last year’s Palm Sunday! Meaning, your church is storing ashes right now.

Did you know every Daisy and Sheep animation comes with free activities for your kids? Let them dive deeper into each lesson and grow in their faith and love of God and neighbor.

The Daisy and Sheep animations are designed to both help children explore the beauty of the Mass and discover fun facts about the Catholic Church.

We release episodes on the Mass on Saturdays and fun facts on Tuesdays.

Stay tuned for more episodes coming very soon.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

Have a blessed day!

In Christ,

Trevor
