I had a feeling that the first Sunday in Lent was significant and I was right. It is known as Quadragesima Sunday or Invocavit Sunday. So Sundays are not counted in the forty days of modern Lent and so therefore Lent technically starts on Ash Wednesday now, whereas during early Christianity it started on Ash Monday; which would be tomorrow as I am writing this on the first Sunday during Lent. That Monday is now referred to as Clean Monday. It’s very confusing but none the less I decided to listen to some Gospel music on the first Sunday of Lent – The Most Holy Lance and Nails. It is also known as Quadragesima Sunday as aforementioned above.
