Lent is a 40-day period of penance in the Catholic and Orthodox calendar, that begins on Ash Wednesday (the day after Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras) and finishes on Easter Sunday. It's meant to be a spiritual preparation for Easter, and commemorate the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert enduring doubt and temptation. (Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday is such a wild orgy because you're not supposed to have fun for the next 40 days...)GA Under Water:what is this "Lent?"
Phenol:Oh, well: My wife and I had absolutely no qualms about diving every day for two weeks in Palau last month:redhot: But I'm sure our daily meditations on the beauty and wonder of the oceans will redeem us
