This holiday starts four days later in the Ambrosian Rite as practiced by the Archdiocese of Milan. Though it is not Advent, the Gloria in Excelsis Deo hymn is not sung during this holiday, and the "Funken" bonfire occurs during its First Sunday. Purple veiling of statues used to occur during a time period observed prior to 1970, Passiontide, which corresponded to its last two weeks. It is preceded by the lavish Carnival and concludes on Holy Saturday. For 10 points, name this forty-day holiday celebrating Jesus' endurance of Satan's temptation in the wilderness.
