Men of Duncan Hall,
Happy Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. Today is the last day/night of “gluttony” and “parties” before the ritual fasting of the Lenten Season, which begins tomorrow on Ash Wednesday. This Friday, however, is called Kissing Friday! Across the pond in England, the Friday following Ash Wednesday has traditionally been deemed as Kissing Day. Throughout the holiday, schoolboys were entitled to kiss any girl without fear of punishment or rejection. Unfortunately for you fellas, the holiday was discontinued in the 1940s. Ironically, the production of Hershey Kisses was also stopped in the 1940s. From 1942-1949, no Hershey kisses were sold in order to ration the silver foil used for wrappers. While Duncan Hall might not be able to supply you with a sweetheart or endlessly satisfy your sweet tooth, we do have plenty of opportunities for you to receive and spread a little Christian Love. Read on to see how we're ringing in the Lenten season in the upcoming weeks:
