How long does Lent last?

[RangerWickett]

Not being a Catholic, it may seem a bit odd that I gave up Magic: the Gathering for Lent, but a Catholic friend of mine suggested it, and I've definitely had more time now to do work, since I haven't been playing the game.

But I didn't keep track of how long this lasts, or when it's done. It goes until Easter, right? That's April 20th? Oh my. I've seriously got cravings now.

40 days isn't it?

 

[Felix]

From Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday... 40 days.

I gave up something near and dear to my heart: Pistacio Icecream. Sigh.

Good luck with the M:TG, that one was a particularly hard habit to break for me.

I give up Christianity

 

[Ranger REG]

Ouch.

 

[Enforcer]

Well, I'm Jewish, but I'll give up kosher for Lent...not that I keep kosher the rest of the year, but it's an important symbolic sacrifice. Or something.

 

[mistergone]

Oh.. oh yeah... uh, I'll make a huge sacrifice and give up sex for Lent.
