Face Flushes After Eating

Ash

Today is the 'Ash Wednesday' and Lent begins. I remember Kris, Indonesian ethnic Chinese. He tells me that
assenterĂ  an hour in the afternoon to go to church and when I ask him why he reminds me that today is Ash Wednesday. Not having experienced the carnival I had not even noticed.
So here's what happens in Indonesia.
justified absence from work to pray.
In the state where the majority of Muslims around the world. Where
Islam is followed by over 80% of the population.
Where my friend is also ethnic minority as well as religious.
Cospargiamoci ashes on their heads, maybe it's appropriate to do so.
