As of this Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010, we’re in the season that the church’s liturgical calendar calls Lent. Several folks might have grown up in traditional & liturgical traditions of “church,” where seasons like Lent were part of the norm; others have never heard of it before; still others are confused or apathetic to such historical liturgy; while a final group might have friends who participate (and even walked around on Wednesday with an ashen cross on their foreheads), and are curious.
So over the next couple days, I’m posting a few thoughts on Lent: what it is and why people give things up (or add things, as the case may be). Check back this week for part 2: What is Lent; then parts 3 and 4: why people do, and concurrently why people should NOT, give things up.
And happy Valentines Day too...
