Lent

What is Lent?

Lent is from Ash Wednesday until the Thursday before Good Friday (40 days - Sundays not included). Lent is a period of time for self-reflection in preparation for Easter. This might include giving up something that you enjoy (like chocolate) as an act of self-denial. Or it might involve doing something that brings you closer to God.
