We have several "lenten" seasons and the one before Pascha (Easter) is Great Lent (advent is sometimes called "little lent") Bright Week is the 7 days following Pascha. I do not however know why it is called bright week. It is a "fast free week" and very festive :)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10647426494359111497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400013537237976584.post-84210696931759989192012-04-04T13:43:43.428-07:002012-04-04T13:43:43.428-07:00Just when I think I understand Lent, I hear "...Just when I think I understand Lent, I hear "Great Lent."
