A subdued Mardi Gras celebration gave way to Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season Wednesday. This year, ashes were sprinkled on the heads of parishioners at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Morgan City instead of being applied to foreheads. Above, Laura Carter receives her ashes from the Rev. Brice Higginbotham.
