The Culture of Lent

Ordinarily, I don't consider culture and Lent in the same phrase but in determining what to call my thoughts and ideas about Abraham, Moses, The Transfiguration and metanoia, I realized how fitting is the word culture to describe these people, that event and a new way of thinking and living....
