The Lenten Season Challenge by dgreatrock(m): 12:08pm On Feb 23, 2009 |
Wednesday the 25th day of february, 2009 marks the beginning of Lent. Lent, in some Christian denominations, is the forty-day-long liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter.[1] The forty days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where according to the Bible he endured temptation by Satan.[2] Different churches calculate the forty days differently. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer—through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial—for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent TELL US HOW DO YOU INTEND TO OBSERVE YOURS? |
