Somebody please explain me what is this ash on your forehead thing, and why half of the USA is histerical about it

I'm officially a Catholic, my country is Catholic, my grandparents are strictly following the rules and traditions, my studies included a lot of stuff about religion, but I have never heard of this. I mean about Ash Wednesday yes, but not the cross on your head.

But many Americans in the comments talk about this like it's the most important part of being a Catholic and is done by everybody for ages and how dare anybody not know about it or even criticizing those who overdo it for show off.

And I'm curious now
