NOTE: just found out that the word QUARANTINE comes from the Latin word for "40" ...
The connection between quaranine, 40, and Lent The word quarantine is from the Italian word quaranta which means forty. The practice of quarantine originated long before people understood it medically. And they picked forty days not because of any medical reason, but a biblical one. In the Bible, forty is often associated with purification: 40 days and nights of rain for Noahs flood, 40 years in the wilderness for Gods people before entering the promised land, Jesus 40 day fast before He began His ministry, and of course, these have morphed into our present-day seaon of 40 days of Lent! So whether people realize it or not, a quarantine has to do with Lent and forty days of purification.
