MARCH 15, MEDIAN DAY OF LENT

Yesterday, Wednesday, March 15, was the median day of Lent (Michink). (*) It is the 24th day of Lent and it falls on the Wednesday of the fourth week of Lent, ending the first half of our spiritual journey. Although it does not have any specific religious significance, this mid-point day has been traditionally marked as a special day and occasion for fellowship, friendship, and the sharing of a Lenten meal.
