I’m also not aware of the practice in the New Testament.

20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 "Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
-Matthew 11:20-22

4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
-Matthew 4:4

Thanks for that passage. Looks like a another example of where great conviction would cause great humbling and repentance.

I reminded of Ninevah’s repentance, where the king SAT in ashes, man and beast were covered with sackcloth, an they cried mightily to God. Do you folks sit in ashes as well?

I’m curious to the sackcloth matter. Is there a site showing some of your persuasion wearing it?

**..every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”**
