Excerpt from Lent Past and Present: A Study of the Primitive Origin of Lent, Its Purpose and Usages
N the Christian world to-day there is such a variety of usage as to fasts and festivals, or to absence of them altogether, that the minds of many might easily be confused as to their validity or utility. One Christian body claims right for its usage, another for its usage, and still another would claim liberty to observe no day of festival or fast whatsoever.
