It is terribly bad luck that Lent begins on Valentines Day. It is the death knell to every abstemious vow that involved chocolate and probably several other things that are perhaps best not speculated about . . .
Ash Wednesday seems a dive of a day by comparison with its romantic counterpart. Who'd ever give an Ash Wednesday Card?
Try this.
It's not going to revive the flagging High Street retail sector, is it?
Yet of course the two days are linked by more than a calendar coincidence. They are linked by love. The Valentine love that overwhelms but can never last and the other a Calvary love that died but can never die.
