North Buffalo Posted July 7, 2022 Report Posted July 7, 2022 It is the beginning of Lent and ends with Easter so its actually 40 days. Judaism and Islam more efficient in that regard Quote

Judaism and Islam more efficient in that regard Ramadan is more like Lent in that it's the fasting month. I really don't remember Ash Wednesday being along the same lines as Yom Kippur and Arafah, which are both considered the day of atonment for all our sins against God and our fellow creatures of God. Marked by fasting, prayers (all day) and asking for forgivness. 1 Quote

You will be finer than fine. Now you can travel with your sister again ... +++++ In other awesome news ... Eid al Adha is always awesome. Hajj has ended. A million pilgrims were allowed on Hajj this year, which is low for most years pre COVID, but the first time in 3 years that more than only a handful of locals were allowed into Mecca. New Year is coming in about 2 weeks. 1 Quote

Doohicksie Posted July 20, 2022 Report Posted July 20, 2022 My wife had a decent day. The pain from her knee was getting really bad but today it seemed to be much less than what she's been dealing with. I hope it's the start of a trend. (If not I may have to buy more leather belts for her to bite on.) Quote
