*The Lenten Season (February 14-March 28)
December 12, 2023 by Pastor
Filed under Church Announcements, On Facebook
The beginning of Lent depends on the date of Easter. Easter follows a lunar, rather than a solar calendar and is celebrated on the Sunday that follows the first full moon after the vernal (spring) equinox. When that Sunday is figured, Lent begins 40 days prior, not including Sundays. Lent is a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline.
Lent is a period of 40 days during which Christians remember the events leading up to and including the death of Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings are the foundation of Christianity.
The 40-day period is called Lent after an old English word meaning ‘lengthen’.
This is because of the time of year when it happens, as this is when the days start to get longer, as we approach Summer.
It is a time of reflection and of asking for forgiveness, and when Christians prepare to celebrate Jesus’s resurrection at the feast of Easter, which comes at the very end of Lent.
Lent (Latin: Quadragesima, ‘Fortieth’) is the solemn Christian religious observance in the liturgical year commemorating the 40 days Jesus Christ spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, before beginning his public ministry.
Moses, Elijah, and Jesus all experienced fasting for 40 days and nights.
Noah and the ark it rained 40 days and 40 nights.
