Z’s Q:
“Hi Guys,
As usual, I've another Q on American culture. As you know, late this month,
we'll have Mardi Gras, followed by Lent, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Holy
Thursday (or Maundy Thursday), Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday.
How well does the average American know these holidays or terms? I guess
everybody knows of Good Friday and Easter. Please let me know your views when
you get a chance. Thx. ” Z 060215
American L’s View:
”I think you are right, just about everyone knows of Easter and most people know
of Good Friday and Mardi Gras. I believe over half of Americans know of Ash
Wednesday and Palm Sunday. The least known about would be Holy Thursday and Holy
Saturday.” L 060216

O’s View:
”I'll assign
a number from 1-10 for each, where 1 is unknown and 10 means everyone knows or
should know something about it. These are my impressions." O
