Lent Begins Today

I have been thinking about Lent.

Here’s part of a quiz I made up last year.

True or False

• I have celebrated Lent once.
• Lent is 46 days before Easter.
• Fasting from food and activities occurs during Lent.
•  Fasting is not allowed on Sundays and so are not counted as one of the days of Lent. This is why Lent is said to be 40 days long.

All the above are True.
