Ash Wednesday is an important day for many believers. According to the gospels Jesus was tempted in the desert for 40 days during the time that we call lent, so now on Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent) we use the ashes of a palm branch on the forehead as a sign of fasting, reformation, reflection, and finally celebration! This Refill bag for Palm Ash Pyxis Vessels holds 10g of authentic Palm Ash. 1g serves 10-15 people depending on the application process. Poly-Bagged and labeled in a zip lock bag
