[edit] External Links
May I suggest www.pathwaysofprayer.org.uk - a Lent prayer guide from Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, in partnership with BBC Radio 4 and BBC Local Radio? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Church2008 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- It doesn't look appropriate to me. It's not really about Lent as a topic of discussion/analysis, it's just prayers for use during Lent. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 16:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- If you look at the other external links, this is exactly what some of them are - resources relating to Lent. My suggestion would seem to fit with what has been previously accepted. Thanks.

Unlock this article, please. There is much information missing, and the content is horribly written. 209.55.80.148 (talk) 01:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fasting and abstinence
"When observing fasting or abstinence during Lent, regard must be paid to the fact that Sundays are Feast Days, so the fast or abstinence may be broken."
I've heard this many times, but the only evidence given is that Lent is 40 days without the Sundays, so the Sundays don't count. Isn't this a case of "citation needed"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.184.181.127 (talk) 07:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, it's sort of cited to [1], but I agree a better citation could and should probably be found. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 07:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
