[quote=Anonymous]Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, the observation of the period where Jesus spent 40 days fasting in the desert. This is clearly mentioned in the New Testament. Episcopalians and Catholics observe this period in the 40 days leading up to Easter by emulating Christ and giving up some worldly pleasure. Post Reformation Protestant sects don't observe Lent. They aren't supposed to have any worldly pleasures left to give up. One thing that is VERY clear in the New Testament is that no Christian is supposed to nitpick or criticize someone else's sin or observance (see Matthew 7:3 -5). Once you start down the road of thinking you get to decide who is a true representative of some religion, you have entered cultist territory.[/quote]
