The Season of Lent

What is Lent?
Lent constitutes 40 days leading up to Easter. It is a time to prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus. The 40 days are symbolic of the time Jesus spent in the wilderness just after he was baptized. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends the day before Easter on Holy Saturday.

If you have any questions about Lent, post them below and we will try to get an answer back to you.

  2. Usually the color Purple is for Royalty and Jesus is our King

    Purple is also a color that reminds us of the sadness and mourning....of Jesus' pain and suffering.
