Lent

[Sam]

Well, for a while, I was just really, really, really, bored. the first two weeks SUCKED. I was like oh NO what have I DONE?!?!

I read a lot of very interesting books. And have started playing around with shurikens, they are so cool. I dont know, so much has happened that I cant even think of any of it, lol.

I wish I had time to be bored... I had to leave work early on Friday to get my teeth cleaned, so I didn't finish my grading - it's gorgeous out, about 70, sunny, clear... and I'm at my computer grading math homework (computerized grade book). Aarrgh... but if I don't get it done now I'll be up all night, because I have to have it done for tomorrow, so they can do makeup work.

I have a "Lent" question...

First off let me say that I am not a practicing Catholic. I was raised that way, but it has been a long time. I was always under the impression that the Lenten season lasted 40 days. If Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, then that is day #1. Each following Wednesday would add 7 days to the total, ie 8, 15, 22, 29, 36. Good Friday would be day 38. Easter Sunday would be day #40.

My question is this...When does Lent officially end? Many people give up something for Lent. However, the sacrifice is usually over Easter morning. That's seems to me that they've only completed 39 days. To me, Lent would end at 11:59 pm Easter Sunday night. Or does it end at dawn on Easter morning to coincide with Christ's resurrection?

My questions are in no way meant to be disrespectful to anyone's faith or sacrificies. I'm just curious.

Nevermind...found my own answer. The Sundays' during Lent do not count toward the 40 days.

Hey, Sam! Good to see you.

Having fun throwing stuff, eh? Awesome! Here's a hot tip - when you're picking them up watch where you step very carefully! I have a black set, and finding them in the grass is always fun.
