[Sca-cooks] a Lenten question-

[Aurelia Rufinia]

No.  Lent is the period of Forthy Days and forty night
nights that Jesus went into the desert and was
apparently tempted by Satan to not go through with the
whole crucifixtion/resurrection thing.  At the end fo
that, Jesus goes to Jerusalem on a donkey, had the
Last Supper, and we know the rest of the story.  

Forty days and forty nights does show up multiple
times, in the flood, and the after the Exodus when the
hewbrews were wandering around trying to find the
promised land for forty years.  And also Lent.  It is
a little confusing.
