Episode Description

What is a Catholic to do when one penitential season of Lent just doesn’t provide enough fasting? They add a second one!

For many centuries, Advent (previously called St Martin’s Lent) was a penitential season observed similarly to Lent, marking a preparation for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
