You are probably aware that it is Valentine's Day today because most shops have been trying to push love and red and flowers and chocolates and teddies and cards in your face for the last month or so.

By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days.
