"Fat Tuesday" or "Shrove Tuesday" precedes Lent Feb. 19. It is the last big feast day before the fasting that was traditionally done during the Lent season. The Episcopal Church mem bers celebrate the feast with a traditional pancake supper. Ash Wednesday begins the 40 week days of Lent, explains Lutheran Pastor John Maas. Weekends are not counted, he said, because Sundays are always a day of celebration for the resurrection of Christ, during the Lent season, Christians comtemplate the suffering of Christ. As a sign of devotion, Christians traditionally pledge to give up something during Lent to discipline themselves, Maas said. Historically on Ash Wednes day, Christians would wear sack cloths with crosses on their faces made with ashes from the burnt palms from Palm Sunday the year before. This tradition came from the Old Testament belief about the sorrow and the mourning of Christ. Maas continued saying the Lent season for churches usually has less music be cause it is meditative and singing is for rejoicing. Palm Sunday is March 30 this year. It is celebrated as the day Christ entered Jeru salem for the last time one . week before his death. Maundy Thursday is the night of the Passover. It also is known as the night of the Last Supper when Chirst instituted holy communion. It was the night Judas betrayed Jesus. Good Friday, April 4, is the day of the Tenebrae Service when the lights get darker throughout the church service signifying the nearing death of Christ and then a light comes back into the church signify ing that the light of Christ never goes out, Maas said. Good Friday worship is from noon to 3 p.m. to signify the three hours Christ was on the cross. Most churches honor Good Friday with an eve service. The Rev. Michael Sheridan is in charge of the Good Friday Eve Community Service in . Heppner this year. Holy Saturday follows Good Friday and is the time Jesus was in the tomb. Some churches celebrate at mid night that night with the processional Easter morning. The second annual Easter Sunrise Service is now being planned by the ministers' association in Heppner. One week after Easter, there will be a community church musical program with choirs from all the churches in Heppner joining. Lent is Old English meaing "spring." Pastor Maas said that when Christianity was developed, its adherents tried to explain it so everyone could under stand. Since no one knew the day Christ was born or when he was resurrected. Chris tians put Christmas in the winter on one of the shortest days of the year and Easter was put during the spring when the flowers are reborn and come back to life. the Red Lion Indian Hills presents SUNDAY BRCINCH with a difference i, ,1 . f Lit . isw ..... .- J.ji fci r The difference begins with the surroundings: the beautiful Red Lion Dining Room.
