Lent is conventionally described as lasting for forty days, in remembrance of the forty days which, according to the Gospels
of Matthew, Mark and
Luke, Jesus spent fasting in the desert before the beginning of his public
ministry, where he endured temptation by the Devil.
Yesterday
Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of the lent season for many in the Christian
Community. Lent starts every year on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday,
the day before Easter Sunday.
Lent is a
time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting,
repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. The purpose of lent is to observe
and reflect on Jesus Christ - his suffering and his sacrifice, his life, death,
burial and resurrection.
For what it’s
worth I think reflecting on Jesus should be a daily routine, so as to keep us
in check and alert for the second coming of Jesus…
Winks..:-)
