- The calculation of the 40 days of lent- how is it done?
- In order for Lent to include 40 days on which fasting could occur, it had to be expanded to six full

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday that follow it. Six times six is thirty-six, plus four equals forty. And
that's how we arrive at the 40 days of Lent!
