Ash Wednesday and such, why we don't 'celebrate' them

1 Timothius 4 says:

1 Now the Spirit speaketh evidently, that in the latter times some shall depart
   from the faith, and shall give heed unto spirits of error, and doctrines of devils
2 Which speak lies through hypocrisy, and have their consciences burned with an
   hot iron,
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath 
   created to be received with giving thanks of them which believe and know the 
   truth. 
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing ought to be refused, if it be
   received with thanksgiving.
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good 
   minister of Jesus Christ, which hast been nourished up in the words of faith, and of
   good doctrine, which thou hast continually followed.
7 But cast away profane, and old wives fables, and exercise thy self unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things,
   which hath the promise of the life present, and of that that is to come.

Just a thought.
Trim them lamps!
