	The Ashes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ashes urn is reputed to contain a burnt set of bails symbolising the death of English cricket.
		In the 1990s, given Australia's long dominance of the Ashes series, and the by now universal acceptance of the Darnley urn as ‘The Ashes’, the idea was mooted that the victorious team in an Ashes series should be awarded the urn as a trophy and allowed to retain it until the next series.
		Although this won England the Ashes, it caused such a furore in Australia that diplomats had to intervene to prevent serious harm to Anglo-Australian relations, and the MCC eventually changed the laws of cricket to prevent anyone from using the tactic again.

	2005 Ashes series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2005 Ashes series was that year's edition of the long-standing and storied cricket rivalry between England and Australia.
		However, with the Ashes going to Australia in the event of a drawn series, there was still all to play for at The Oval.
		The final match to decide the fate of the legendary Ashes urn finally began, and the proverbial first blood was drawn by England as Michael Vaughan won his third toss of the series (much to the delight of the Brit Oval crowd).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ashes
		A number of passages in the Old Testament connect ashes (efer) with mourning, and we are told that the mourner sat or rolled himself in, sprinkled his head or mingled his food with, "ashes", but it is not clear whether in these passages we ought not rather to translate efer as dust.
		It may be that the dust was originally taken from the grave, in token that the living felt himself one with the dead, or it may be that humiliation and the neglect of personal cleanliness constituted the dominant idea; for a similar manifestation of grief was undoubtedly familiar among Aryan peoples, e.g.
		The chief foundation for this last suggestion is the Rite of the Red Heifer (Numbers 19:17) in which the ashes of the victim when mixed with water had the ceremonial efficacy of purifying the unclean (cf.

	The Ashes
		The close-grained wood of the white ash is notable for its strength, toughness and elasticity.
		The Red Ash and a variety of it, called the Green Ash, are distinguished from the white ash by the fact that their leaves are narrower, more toothed along the edges, and are bright green or yellow-green on both sides.
		The red ash, however, has fuzz on its twigs, the midribs of its leaves, and the undersides of its leaflets; whereas the green ash, like the white ash, has none.

		After the sprinkling, the priest asked, "Art thou content with sackcloth and ashes in testimony of thy penance before the Lord in the day of judgment?" To which the dying person replied, "I am content." In all of these examples, the symbolism of mourning, mortality, and penance is clear.
		Eventually, the use of ashes was adapted to mark the beginning of Lent, the 40 day preparation period (not including Sundays) for Easter.
		The ritual for the "Day of Ashes" is found in the earliest editions of the Gregorian Sacramentary, which dates at least to the eighth century.
