adaltaredei:

The Priest sprinkles the palm ashes with holy water, then incenses them.

He puts ashes on his head, then on the heads of those present because the Head is the seat of pride. As he does this he says:

Meménto, homo, quia pulvis es, et in púlverem revertéris

“Remember, man, that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return”
