Ash Wednesday. I heard on the radio they were going to sprinkle heads instead of creating the sign of the cross on the forehead or hand .... to reduce coof, of course.
Putting the cross on the forehead is a newer and mostly western tradition. In other parts of the world, ashes are sprinkled on the head. But for this year in the US, it is because of the Almighty Virus.

This is true. It's not even a Holy Day of Obligation... and wasn't pre-wuflu either.
