Lenten traditions

TO?THE?EDITOR:

George Weigel states in his column, “Companions on the Road to Easter”: “In the mid-1980s, students from the Pontifical North American College, the U.S. seminary on Rome’s Janiculum Hill, began to follow the ancient custom of walking to the station church traditionally appointed for that day, each day of Lent.”

Mr. Weigel is mistaken, for I joined many of my classmates in walking to the station churches during Lent in the mid-1960s. The tradition was passed on to us as we passed it.
