Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and lasts for six weeks before Easter. It is a time when we are supposed to be quiet and thoughtful, preparing ourselves for Easter. We pray a lot, give money to charities and give up some of the things we might love like choclolate or playing on our chromebooks at home. Lent ends at Easter, which is a time of great celebration as that is when we think of how Jesus had died on the cross but then rose again from the dead.
Lent is traditionally supposed to be forty days long. That is because the Bible says that Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness, preparing for his death and resurrection.
Our class has made Lenten Promises - we have given up something, we will be praying more and we will be almsgiving.
Have you ever tried to give up anything you love? Here are Michael's Lenten promises.
