It's not required that a worshipper wear ashes for the rest of the day, although some Christians choose to do so. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ." Prior to the pandemic, on Ash Wednesday, a minister would mark a cross on the forehead of each recipient, saying the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. silent prayer Loving God, you create us from the dust of the earth may these ashes be for us a sign of our penitence and our mortality, and a reminder that only by the cross do we receive eternal life in Jesus Christ our Saviour. Ministers may wish to encourage the imposition of ash within households, especially if public worship is not taking place," the guidance added. If the imposition of ashes is to follow, the presider says, Let us pray. "The imposition of ash in places other than the church or churchyard is not recommended. 3) Understanding that the Ash Wednesday rubrics allow the service to be led by a lay person (BCP, 269), the Officiant makes ashes available in small containers. The Church of England added that if ash is produced locally, it should be done in a hygienic manner and as the ash will be sprinkled and not daubed, the addition of oil "may not be necessary." The temptation should be resisted to use a single use implement to apply ash to the forehead," the guidance continued. "If the minister accidentally touches the recipient, they must sanitize hands again. Wearing a face mask, the minister should then sprinkle the ashes on each person's head, without touching them or speaking any words. New guidance stated that in churches, choosing to remain open for public worship, the minister involved should stand at arm's length from the recipient and sanitize their hands immediately before the imposition of ashes begins.
The Church of England has said imposition of ashes will be permitted during Ash Wednesday but not in the traditional way. Matthew Motts Australia beat England in the final of the 2022 World Cup.
