| Ash Wednesday greetings... 17:31 - Feb 18 with 1483 views | Zx1988 |
Not sure I've seen so many organisations and public bodies on social media wishing people a 'Happy Ash Wednesday' as I have done today.
I'm sure it's had nothing to do with the 'Very Real Concerns' crowd doing their usual 'What about *insert minor Christian festival that I don't even observe here*?' act beneath yesterday's Lunar New Year and Ramadan posts.
No doubt there was lots of frantic Googling of 'how do I commemorate Ash Wednesday' by various social media admins this morning. |  |

And the Catholics. |
and c of e. it's always been done as far as i can remember back. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Utterly bizarre. But look out Remembrance Sunday, there’s a new kid in town! We’ll all be expected to wear pancakes on our heads within 3 years. |  |

As a committed Christian I haven't even given any thought to it being Ash Wednesday (and I wouldn't know why it is called that either). I was aware it was Shrove Tuesday and the start of Lent yesterday, but that was as much about remembering my pancakes as anything. I do know the relevance of yesterday as the start of Lent. |  |

Today is the start of Lent.
Pancake day is about using up all you have lying about before getting on with the fasting. |  |

Yes. Careless wording from me there. | |

I shall look forward to the usual suspects clamouring for greater acknowledgement of Epiphany and Candlemas, as Ramadan gets earlier and earlier over the next few years. | |

Vote Liberal or Labour
If you want a Nigel out of favour!
(Or Green, obviously, but it doesn't have the historical resonance) | | | |

What if the seat is a two way fight between Tory and Reform? |  |
