LENT

[The Iceman]

Thats the first Ive heard of that!

When observing fasting or abstinence during Lent, regard must be paid to the fact that Sundays are Feast Days, so the fast or abstinence may be broken. If one counts the days from Ash Wednesday to the day before Easter Sunday, excluding the Sundays, one will see that there are forty of them, corresponding to the number of days Christ spent in the wilderness.

we were talking about this in work and someone stated it was noon on the Saturday, just googled it, this is one answer http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=39082

it shows
Lent ends when the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday begins because the Mass of the Lord's Supper ushers in the Holy Triduum, a liturgical season in its own right and the shortest of the liturgical year. For more information, click here.

As for the Lenten penances, those are voluntary practices that people take up as personal devotions in addition to the penances required by the Church on the Fridays of Lent. Voluntary penances can be voluntarily set aside, so if your students wish to take a break from them on Sundays in honor of the Lord's Day, that is perfectly fine. That said, the Sundays of Lent are indeed a part of the Lenten season. See the links below for more informat

From website...
Good Friday Origins
'There are two possible origins for the name "Good Friday". The first may have come from the Gallican Church in Gaul (modern-day France and Germany). The name "Gute Freitag" is Germanic in origin and literally means "good" or "holy" Friday. The second possibility is a variation on the name "God's Friday," where the word "good" was used to replace the word "God," which was often viewed as too holy for commoners to speak.'

Do Protestants not recognise the term Good Friday as the Nationalist parties used to go on about the Good Friday Agreement but the Unionists seemed determined to keep calling it the 'Belfast Agreement.'
Anyone know?

If the nationalists called it the belfast agreement the unionists would call it the good friday agreement!

Hi where have you boys all been? I have known from a young age that you didn't keep lent on Sundays or feast days and that Lent ended on sun down Holy Thursday night when the season of Triduum begins..... Maybe if you listened in Mass instead of complaining about how bad it was you would know these things!!!??!?!
