LeNtEn SeAsOn...

Christians observe Lenten Season for 40 days, it starts on Ash Wednesday and end on the day before Easter Sunday. Passion Sunday is the first Sunday of Lent and the Last Sunday is Palm Sunday. The week before Easter is called Holy Week.

Lent is a time of spiritual preparation. A time to prepare ourselves for Easter by asking God for forgiveness by repenting our sins. This is the time of year that all christians profess their faith. It is also the time of learning more on Christian faith as well as a time of self-examination and soul-searching that included repentance, self-denial, prayer, and fasting.

Lenten is the season for new beginnings and a time of spiritual renewal. Forsake all evil in our lives and surrender yourself to God. This is the perfect moment to reflect on Christ’s journey to the cross ending at the Resurrection.

Lent is a reaffirmation of our faith in God.
