Background information about Ash Wednesday



Some of you might know and some not, but today the carneval season is over. Ash Wednesday is also the day of the first lent. Some people might also not know what the lent is. Well, the lent is the 40 day period before Easter in which Christians are supposed to fast and pray. During that time Jesus endured the temptation of Satan in the desert.

I am an Atheist and I have to admid that I did not know about the meaning of Ash Wednesday and Lent. But now I know and I hope I educated some of you that read this post.

Tell me, whether you are going to fast for 40 days now! I would be really interested in that.
