In western Christian churches, palm fronds are traditionally blessed and distributed.
However, in eastern Christian churches, such as Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic, pussy willow
branches are blessed. In other parts of the world branches from other trees are blessed. |

None of the pre-Nicene fathers prescribe a mandatory Lenten fast.
No mentions of Lent are found in the writings of St. Dionysus of Alexandria. |

When Lent started, it was only 36 days. Later it was changed to 40 days. |

Our parish is holding fairly short viewings and discussions on Sunday evenings of Lent of episodes selected by our priest (and discussion leader) of the series The Chosen, which I had not previously heard of but am enjoying enormously, and recommend enthusiastically, although I admit that the group discussion has added a great deal in helping me recognize a lot of value that on my own I might well have missed. I can ask Xfinity for it, and up it comes for free. I understand three seasons are complete and also available in vidoe in stores, and serveral versions are available on Utube. It is much more than simply another life of Jesus, in successfully showing a good deal of the culture including considerable humor. I'd be very interested in your reactions and suspect you may hear more about mine.

During Lent in Poland is a weekly service called Gorzkie Zale.
This devotion was developed in the 18th century in Poland.
It is a set of hymns that focus on the Passion of Christ. It is sung every Sunday during Lent. |

Only Luke mentions Herod seeing Jesus, I think.

Catholics started the tradition of Lent around the year 325, during the Council of Nicea. |

The raising of Lazarus of Bethany is a miracle recounted only in the Gospel of John.
When he calls Lazarus to come out ("Come forth") Jesus specifically speaks the name of Lazarus. |

On the Tuesday after Palm Sunday Judas negotiated with the Sanhedrin, the rabbinical court, to betray Jesus. |

After the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus, many people in Bethany believed that Jesus
was the Son of God and put their faith in him. |
