The ashes of the branches of the previous year, which were placed in one of Palmeen (the seventh Sunday of the Great Fasting and the first day in the Pain Week) and the religious people put it on their foreheads in the form of a cross.
Rubio is not the first American official
And the use of ashes is a reminder of Christian traditions that a person is “ashes to ashes and dust to dust.”
In many churches, the celebration of Wednesday is focused on ash about the remaining ash of palm trees that were used in one of Palmers.
The ashes gain an indication of repentance, which is the essence of great fasting, and represents sin and human weakness.
Rubio is not the first American official to appear in the tradition of Ashmad. Former US President Je Piden appeared with the wealth of Asham, and he is the President of the United States and also and he is the deputy former President Barack Obama.
