Today there will be no craft project to post. There is a good reason for this.....
After some research over the internet I have learned that Sundays are not strictly regarded as part of the Lenten period. For Christians, Sunday is a day of rest and celebrates the rising of Christ on that day. Therefore when the period of Lent was established it was actually six weeks of six days- omitting the Sundays - and four extra days - Ash Wednesday and Thursday, Friday, Saturday of that week. This may vary slightly between different churches and there are many internet sites that can explain it further.

I felt that 365 days was a challenge a little too far for me right now and instead adapted the idea to become 40daysofcrafts.
Back tomorrow with Day 5!
