Lent
Lent is a 40-day liturgical season tt initiates the most sacred part of Christian year.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday & concludes on Maundy Thursday.
Sundays are not included in the 40-day count bcos every Sunday is a joyful celebration of our Lord's resurrection.
During Lent, Christians meditate with awe and thanksgiving on the great paschal mystery-- the salvation God won for us sinners by suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
