Today is Ash Wednesday and the begining of Lent. Ash Wednesday is the day that you atone for your sins followed by a symbolic fasting (you usually give something up) for 40 days and 40 nights which is the amount of time Jesus spend in the desert after the temptation period with Lucifer. Then comes Good Friday which is the cruxifiction and death of Jesus that takes us to Easter which is the awakening.
Because I'm not Catholic or a non-practicing Catholic like so many of my friends I don't follow lent, so I won't be giving up anything. What are you giving up?
Yes, I had a conversation about this with some people who brought me up to speed.
Thanks guys.
P.S. What do y'all think of Mary Magdalen shacking up with Jesus? Discuss.
