never occurred to me that lent was even a major religious holiday until 2 yrs ago when i was in NYC and saw people walking around wtih ash crosses o ntheir heads. My friend and i thought something was really odd and it wasn't until days later that i figured out it was Lent and mostly catholics were celebrating..
Just shows how few catholics there are in the south...
(my town: 315 churches, 1 catholic)
