There's a reason why you may see people walking around today with smudges on their foreheads. Many Christians today are marking Ash Wednesday, which marks the start of Lent, by wearing ashes to show repentance as well as showing devotion to God. During the observance, ashes are placed on the worshiper's forehead, usually in the shape of a cross. The display of ashes reveals the recipient's belief in Jesus Christ and shows grief and mourning for a person's sins. Christians believe that Jesus died for their sins and was resurrected from death three days later.
