Thurday



Some notes from FIT 2.  Lent - six weeks before Easter.  Michaelmas is the celebration of St. Michael (Sept 29th).  The day on which debts were called in and wages and rents paid.  All-Saints' Day is the commemoration of the dead.

St. Michael is one of the angels present at the hour of death and the chief opponent of Satan.
