Ash Wednesday Begins the 40 Days of Lent

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....

Ash Wednesday...The Beginning of Lent
