In many parts of our world, fanatic
religious convictions and intolerance sadly have come to mean the difference
between life and death...
...something we as Americans find
impossible to comprehend.
...a RIGHT our founding fathers felt so
strongly endowed in each individual, that they included Freedom of Religion as part of our American Constitution's
Bill of Rights.
We originally published this article in
2014, but since that time, our readership has grown so
substantially....
...that... in the spirit of that RIGHT, and our belief that knowledge is closely associated with understanding....
We have decided to publish it again
(with a few modifications).
Today starts the
Lenten season.
Primarily practiced by those of the
Roman Catholic faith, many aspects of Lent are also
in one way or another a part of other religions as well, including the Anglican,
Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox
denominations.
And so...for those of you who love the
"Whys of the Past"....more commonly referred to as
"history"....and wish to know the course of this
tradition throughout the centuries....

Wednesday...The Beginning of Lent
