like i was explaining to everyone on saturday, depending what tradition you hold, lent can end at different times (not to mention start at different times). so finish lent whenever you want. if you started on the 17th (ash wednesday) then count 40 days and stop there (palm/passion sunday) or you can not count the 5 (actually 6) sundays in lent which will end you on saturday (or passion saturday as it were).
"the sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for the sabbath." (mark somewhere)
if you feel that lent has been long enough, then stop. stopping earlier isn't going to change anything in any shape or form (except for your own personal feelings toward the matter).
ok, having said that, who's setting it up?
