Sorry about the shakiness of the vid. It was windy and a long pan. ;-)
The most important thing to Christians is that it is lent.
Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter, (excluding Sundays) that starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.
The 40 days of Lent involve fasting, prayer, and almsgiving as a way to connect deeper with God. Commonly observed by Roman Catholic, Eastern, and some Protestant churches, many use the 40 days of Lent as a time of personal reflection to prepare your heart and mind for Good Friday and Easter.
The origin of the word Lent comes from the “Old English lencten springtime, spring” and “from West Germanic langitinaz long-days or lengthening of the day.”
Bringing history back to Darien…
She is 60 feet long, 17 feet wide, 18 feet tall, and weighs 60,000lbs. She’s a historic, wood-hull vessel built on Sapelo Island, GA and launched March 1939 by island owner and tobacco company heir R.J. Reynolds, Jr. Her name is Kit Jones.
From blueprints by the esteemed yacht designers, Sparkman & Stephens of New York, the Kit was uniquely constructed of native heart pine and live oak timbers which were harvested and milled on Sapelo. Under the direction of Danish shipwright Axel Sparre, many Sapelo residents – Gullah-Geechee descendants of slaves brought to the island prior to the Civil War – assisted in the construction. In subsequent years, a number of other McIntosh County residents served as masters and mates on the vessel as well.
