9. Okay, I know the timeline, it's just never been celebrated anywhere I've attended.

So that's why I'm out of the loop as far it being a formality. It was barely mentioned, except in Bible Study classes where I went.

I have friends who are Copts and others who are Greek and Russian Orthodox and they do things quite a bit differently.

For all practical purposes, we only celebrated Christmas Eve while discussing Christmas and Good Friday but attended on Easter itself. We also didn't do communion much, only on months with a fifth Sunday. And no confessions, etc. as that was against the belief system.

Thanks for the explanation and I can see why you have so much to do at your church.
