Maybe so. This would have been mostly in the 80s.

I thought the bible was free to interpretation? Who says your interpretation is correct?

How sheltered were you didnt know Ash Wednesday was a thing?
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

I'd honestly never seen it until I got to college.
I knew maybe two catholic kids and zero anglicans/episcopalians growing up.

You do know Catholicism is the original religion of Christianity, and the Bible was written by man and not God, don't you?

My dad didn't really belong to any denomination so we went to a bunch of different churches. I can recall Chapel on the Campus, First Presbyterian, Blackwater Methodist, Zoar Baptist. We were nomads ?
My wife's mother was a Christian Scientist, her father was Methodist. My wife was confirmed as a Presbyterian because they lived down the street from a Presbyterian church. Lately she's become interested in Catholicism and is thinking about converting.
I've always been nominally a Southern Baptist.

pre mid 80's oil bust Houston was overrun with East Texas rednecks, not Mexicans.

Moved to BR in 2000 from Lake Chuck and found BR to be much more like North Louisiana. So that doesn't surprise me that you'd not have seen people with ashes.
Back in the day most Catholics just rubbed them off after church. I guess that began to change in the 80's

The Cathars were actually. The Catholics KILLED off all the Cathars in the 13th and 14th centuries. They v both claimed to be the original true church. .. the Cathars had some crazy beliefs that made some sense.

It sounds insane. but so does eating the flesh and drinking the blood of your God every week.

Cathar cosmology identified two twin, opposing deities. The first was a good God, portrayed in the New Testament and creator of the spirit, while the second was an evil God, depicted in the Old Testament and creator of matter and the physical world. The latter, often called Rex Mundi ("King of the World") was identified as the God of Judaism, and was also either conflated with Satan or considered Satan's father, creator or seducer.
They solved the problem of evil by stating that the good God's power to do good was limited by the evil God's works and vice versa. All visible matter, including the human body, was created by this Rex Mundi; matter was therefore tainted with sin. Under this view, humans were actually angels seduced by Satan before a war in heaven against the army of Michael, after which they would have been forced to spend an eternity trapped in the evil God's material realm.[5] The Cathars taught that to regain angelic status one had to renounce the material self completely. Until one was prepared to do so, they would be stuck in a cycle of reincarnation, condemned to live on the corrupt Earth

It symbolizes “remember man you are dust and unto dust you shall return”.
The Bible says God created man from dust and after we die we return to dust.
The ashes used are from palms from last years Palm Sunday.
I’m not a religious person but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
