...I'm wondering how people will react to the imposition of ashes. Because you have to actually touch someone to give them the ashes.
Sprinkling is the episcopal preference and guidance in our Diocese.We are streaming the liturgy followed by drive-through in the parking lot for the imposition of ashes. Our Rector said folks will be given a choice of ashes on the forehead per usual, or sprinkling of ashes on the head which he says has some historical precedent.
I have never heard of the latter. Can any of you clergy shed light on that?
