"Lent" Explained by the Crunchy Christian Feb 21, 2024
Why do Christians do what Christians do? Ashleigh Hensch dives in weekly to help clear the fog of confusion with easy to understand Church history and tradition.
**I'd like to thank my mom for this video, for pointing out I FAIL and that the word is not Penitentiary, but Penitential Season*. I knew that, but for some reason, my squishy fat/meat brain decided to momentarily forget that. So now you can play a game and count how many I times I totally messed that up 🤣**
Also! I didn't mention a cool new word related to this topic: Xerophagy, which is a noun that means "the strictest Christian fast which is observed chiefly in the Eastern churches during Lent or especially Holy Week and in which only bread, salt, water, and vegetables may be eaten and meat, fish, milk, cheese, butter, oil, wine, and all seasonings or spices are excluded" (Merriam-Webster). It's a Late Latin word of Greek origin, where xerophagia meant "eating of dry food".
