Ash Wednesday and the 47 days of lent
I counted including Ash Wendesday and Easter Saturday there are 46 days in Lent.
After a bit of Googling I find out that Lent is designed to exclude Sundays. What the hell. I had this argument with my parent when I was a bit smaller. I thought that skipping Sundays (and St. Patricks Day in Ireland) was cheating. Hell I still think it is.
It was a good practice at the time, still is I think. Haven't given up anything for lent in a long long time.
