Description
In the East, Lent is called “The Season of Bright Sadness” since it is both a time of penance but also anticipation. Learn how we got to the 40 days; why fasting, penance, and abstaining from meat and/or dairy are such a big part of Lent; customs of the season and where they come from (like hot cross buns); and how to have a good Lenten journey.
