Aurora Vaticana
Aurora Vaticana is a podcast hosted by me, Edith, a lay Dominican and unapologetic daughter of the Catholic Church. Rooted in tradition yet alive to the present moment, each episode is a call to rise like the dawn and see all things in the light of Christ. Whether you’re driving to work, curled up with your journal, or praying your way through ordinary life, welcome! The dawn is breaking, and the Church is radiant!

Intro to Lent Part I: What is lent, a brief history, septuagesima, carnival, and more!
***As of June 2025, the podcast’s name is now Aurora Vaticana!***
What is Lent? In this episode, I talk about the meaning, a brief history, and significance of this 40-day penitential season, why Lent is 40 days (or is it?), and more! I'm going to need more than one episode to talk about this, though. Grab your coffee (or tea), IT'S ALMOST LENT!
Follow me @auroravaticana! I would love your feedback, and let me know if there are topics you'd like me to talk about!
