Depending upon what calendar you follow, the Feast of Jonah (or Nineveh Lent) has either already occurred or begins on Monday, Feb. 14 and runs through to Wednesday, Feb. 16. This commemorates the three days of fasting that Prophet Jonah undertook inside the fish, a parallel and a prophecy of the three days that Christ spent in the tomb, signifying His Death, Burial and Resurrection. It becomes a preparation for Lent. The point is to repent of one's sins, make restitution where it is needed, experience renewal, and return to our faith and path.
