Where Does the Catholic Ash Wednesday Originate from?It is clearly not from Yah'shua.
What a load. There is absolutely no such connection in Ash Wednesday. One can find the roots for it in the very words of the Lord himself.
Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes.
Matthew 11.21
We also see in Jonas that the king of Nineve "sat in ashes" in penance and repentance. Then there is Mordochai who lamented by "strewing ashes on his head." No, the practice of using ashes, specifically on the head too, as a sign of mourning or penitence is both ancient and Biblical. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the Vedas or paganism. Such imaginations are mere fictions.

I'm sure you googled the word ashes and found without regard to understanding the context. Yah'shua is is describing what will happen to unrepentant cities. There are examples of people putting ashes on their bodies. It is always man made rules; it is never commanded by YHvH. What an absolutely breathtaking display of ignorance of the Holy Word of Elohim.
