Noun
endura (plural enduras)
(ecclesiastical history) A fast or series of privations undertaken by the Cathars to purify the soul, often resulting in death.
According to the Blaine County Sheriff's Office, Calvin Connell, 56 and passenger Endura Connell, 52, received only minor injuries when they tried to avoid hitting a vehicle in front of them at around 1:15 p.m. on Highway 75 just north of Hailey. Source: Internet
“Endura has been my life for 25 years, so I’m understandably protective of it and dismissed numerous other approaches in the past,” McFarlane said in a statement. Source: Internet
Levitov had a poor grasp on the history of the Cathars, and his depiction of Endura as an elaborate suicide ritual is at odds with surviving documents describing it as a fast. Source: Internet
