Lent QuestionEdit

I don't understand this sentence: "Lent is the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, marked by believers with the absolution of self-selected material pleasures." I'm not from a denomination that observes Lent, but shouldn't that read "abstention", when you give up something for Lent? I thought absolution was when a person gets their sins forgiven. -- Ken (talk) 05:33, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm rewording. (This may not be the best place for it anyway, but it will do for now; I suspect we may find other "gave it up for Lent" references later on). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 16:45, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yup, I meant abstain, not absolve. Thanks for catching it. —Scott (message me) 19:43, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

The Last SupperEdit

I stumbled on this and can't figure out if this is a piece of fan artwork, a political cartoon, or authorized. last supper image. -- Nate (talk) 05:31, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

I'll bet Andrew can figure it out. I'll ask him! -- Ken (talk) 06:17, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

That was done by an artist who has done stuff for Sesame professionally, but that particular piece was just something he did for fun on his own. It's not official, unfortunately. I can't remember the artist's name right now, but it's on his website. —Scott (talk) 19:39, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

That's a shame. It's really kinda neat and I thought it would be great to add into the wiki. -- Nate (talk) 20:22, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Oh those are just fantastic! Such a shame they aren't authorized. -- Nate (talk) 21:18, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
