Okay Ladies and Gents, we all know tomorrow is Valentines Day, also called Lovers day, but do we also know that it also marks the beginning of Lent?
Lent is a time where we forget the delicious things in life and focus on fasting, praying, giving alms to the poor, going for stations of the cross and going for confession of our sins, to prepare us for Easter.
