Girls State has two mythical
political parties the Nation
alists and the Federalists.
w
ednesday start of Lent
The religious season of Lent
is full of tradition and begins
.with Ash Wednesday Feb. 20
and concludes Easter Sunday
April 6.
"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.

Cattlemen to cast ballots
Local cattlemen will be

ner on the national "Beeferen
dum" issue.
If 50 percent of the cattle
men who registered to vote at
the ASCS office by Feb. 8 turn
out next week, and a majority
of those voting favor the
referendum, it will pass.
If it does pass, cattlemen
will be taxed 20 cents for every
$100 value of their cattle. Thai
is a tax of two-tenths of one
