Catholics may have to forego ash crosses on forehead, holy water during Lent to stop COVID-19 – CBCP 2 SHARES Share it! “This season of Lent, we will still hold the holy masses and observe our traditional activities with caution. On Ash Wednesday, for example, instead of marking the faithful’s forehead with ashes, the ashes may be sprinkled on their heads,” David said over Church-run Radio Veritas. “We also continue to suspend placing water in holy water fonts at the entrance of churches. The faithful may just wait for the priest to bless them with holy water after the mass,” the bishop said.
