Oh, please. Lent is the 40 days (exclusive of Sundays) before Easter. Though it overlaps with the MUCH shorter (was it longer than a week?) Roman holiday of Lupercalia and is, indeed, something of an opposite of Lupercalia, this is one of the more absurd of those 19th century 'all Christian holidays and holy sites are appropriations of pagan holidays and holy sites' kind of reasonings. The two are not commensurate. --MichaelTinkler

You'll get no objection from me one way or the other. I put this in here because I saw it mentioned in the Lupercalia entry, I have no outside knowledge in this area. - BD

Leap Year?

[edit]

In what sense is year 484 a leap year? This year significantly predates the conception, let alone adoption, of the Gregorian calendar. 2601:98A:4002:3DA0:90A7:8C38:1D3F:B77A (talk) 13:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
