The Poojer Posted March 1, 2006 Author Posted March 1, 2006 I know, but you are still "supposed" to abstain from meat FWIW, Ash Wednesday, isn't a holy day. Don't sweat it. 614931[/snapback]
kegtapr Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I know, but you are still "supposed" to abstain from meat 614934[/snapback] For how long? Steak and BJ day is only 20 days away. It's one thing if you can't eat meat, but if Mrs. Pooj can't...............

IDBillzFan Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I know, but you are still "supposed" to abstain from meat 614934[/snapback] Why exactly is that? Will God smite anyone who eats meat at this time?
bills_fan Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 ??????????? , me no understand Go to Google and type in "March 20th"
stuckincincy Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Why exactly is that? Will God smite anyone who eats meat at this time? 614954[/snapback] It is more or less a period of repentance, abstaining, and atonement, with a view towards reflection upon the teachings of Jesus. Sort of like Judeaism's Yom Kippur. One would have to be very high up on God's list for Him to single you out and flatten you for having a double cheeseburger.

When you leave your cozy office in Innsbrook head on down Nuckols Rd. to Springfield Rd., Saint Michael's will be on the left hand side of the road. I'll be the guy with ashes on head.
BRH Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I only remembered it at lunchtime myself too. I was about to tell some guy, "hey, you got some stojan there on your forehead" when I remembered.

Man, that Catholism stuff is pretty cool.
