This week with Matt Swaim on the Sonrise Morning Show, Sacred Heart radio, we talked about Lent, which began this week. Here’s some fun facts along with my newest recipe for Tilapia.
LENTEN CUSTOMS
First, why 40 days? And we know that doesn’t include Sundays.
Throughout the Bible there are references to events taking place over 40 days or years, such as the Israelites’ 40 years in the desert or Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and prayer in the desert. In the biblical sense, “Forty days is another way of saying ‘long enough’ or ‘enough time.’

Fish fries – this is a popular Lenten activity and one which brings revenue to churches, as well.
It’s a great way not only to support your local church but to eat with like minded people a meal that symbolizes our Lenten practices. And tilapia was an abundant fish during the time of Christ. Still popular and a good buy today.
