Lent Madness 2013 The fourth annual "saintly smackdown" begins February 14
 What do you get when you combine a love of sports with a love of saints? Lent Madness, of course. A year after this unique online devotion went viral-with mentions in Sports Illustrated, the Washington Post, and many other media outlets, Lent Madness is back.
Based loosely on the wildly popular NCAA basketball tournament, Lent Madness pits 32 saints against one another in public voting as they compete for the coveted Golden Halo. But it is more than that: Lent Madness is really an online devotional tool sponsored by Forward Movement Publications that's designed to help people learn about saints. This year's heavyweights include John the Baptist, Martin Luther King, Hilda of Whitby, Luke, Dorothy Day, Benedict of Nursia, Martin Luther, and Harriet Tubman.
