Oh, thank you Q. It is a Catholic (Ash) Wednesday. This year, our Calendars do not coincide. Since all EOs celebrate Easter according to the Old Calendar (makes you wonder why did some bother changing to the New one for all other events?!), our Great and Holy Lent (fast) will start in the latter part of March and end at the close of April.
Easter cannot precede Passover, as it happens with New Calendar churches. Also our Lent starts and ends on a Sunday (the Lord's Day), never on Wednesday. Ours also lasts a little longer (usually 42 days). But I appreciate the thought.
Goodness . . . What a mess of convolutions!
Ah well, good wishes for brothers are not wasted.
Blessings in February, too.
