Montre tounen nan pawòl Bondye a bay Adan nan Jenèz 3:19, "Ou se pousyè, ak sa a, n'a tounen pousyè ankò,"Sann dife yo se yon rapèl pwisan ak nou nan mòtalite nou yo ak pwòp bezwen vire do bay peche nou. Natirèlman, siyen an sou kwa a sou fwon nou an senbolize ke nou fè pati nan Jezi Kris la nan Batèm, epi li se espwa nou ke nou pwal patisipe nan Rezirèksyon li (wè Pòl la Lèt nan Ròm yo 8:11).

Pointing back to God’s words to Adam in Genesis 3:19, “You are dust, and to dust you shall return,” ashes are a powerful reminder to us of our own mortality and need to turn away from our sins. Of course, the sign of the cross on our forehead symbolizes that we belong to Christ Jesus through Baptism, and it is our hope that we will share in His Resurrection (see Paul’s Letter to the Romans 8:11).
