I grew up in the BR area and honestly didn't know the ashes on the forehead was a thing until about 5 years ago.

I don't know how I never noticed this before. Do more people partake in this tradition now?

I knew of Ash Wednesday as a holiday, but I'd guess that everyone I went to school with either wasn't Catholic, didn't participate, or didn't show up to school with ashes.

I'm also Jewish so there's your more likely response
