Thanks to Jared, who turned me onto this video that explains Lent in a deep yet concise way. This is The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, reflecting on Lent. I'm still not doing Lent, but since I opined about it a few weeks ago I figured I'd post this here.
Also, this guy has got some amazing eyebrows! I'd recommend clicking on the video, going to the YouTube page itself, and watching them more in-depth in HD. Incredible...
