[Magdalen] Lenten Madness

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

I didn't think it was in the Bible either, but it is apparently a lively
tradition. I've heard it for years, ever since I was a youngster. However,
I think, horse or no horse, Jesus knocked some sense into him. There is a
lot of talk about people seeking to kill Paul. Being an apostle was not for
the faint of heart.
