Sundays are Feast Days!

Lent is a time of repentance (turning from sin) and of fasting. However, since Sundays are the Lord's Day (and a day of feasting and celebration,) they are not a part of Lent. Sundays are like a "little Easter" which comes around every 7 days. This is why we say Lent is 40 days since we don't count the Sundays! We don't fast on Sundays. Instead, we celebrate the resurrection, even during Lent.
