I heard an anecdote this week from a catechist who was teaching young children about Lent. She asked them where the ashes come from, and a young boy was certain that they were from dead people! And then when she told them that they were from last year's palms (from Palm Sunday), those young brains didn't remember back that far or make that connection.
So, parents- what DO your children think is happening? Now's the perfect time to clear up any misconceptions and help them recognize Lent for its connection to Easter. Need a primer, yourself? You could view the video in the previous post, and also read through another previous post.
