Isn’t the last day of lent holy saturday? I always thought it lasted 40 days starting with ash wednesday and ending holy saturday not counting the sundays. A friend that says it ends holy thursday which I think is wrong. Who is right?
 
Dear Tinker,

I remember when I was a child, Lent ended at noon on Holy Saturday. But now it ends at the beginning of the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy, Thursday. Forty days is an approximation.
