Nine Easy Ways To Participate In Lent

Here is an excellent article on Lent by Holly Scheer in The Federalist

The traditional Christian season of Lent offers an opportunity to prepare our minds and spirits for the church’s greatest celebration: Easter.

Lent is a season in the church year for many Christians around the world across denominational lines. Lent is the forty days preceding Easter, excepting Sundays, stretching in the western Christian tradition from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday itself. This year, Ash Wednesday is February 18. Lent culminates in Holy Week, where we closely follow the footsteps of Jesus to the cross on Good Friday and out of the empty tomb Easter morning. This church season is a solemn preparation for one of the most sorrowful days in the church year, as well as one of the most joyful.
While Lent is a very important part of the church year, our normal family and work obligations don’t decrease. It can be difficult to slow down, ponder the richness of our history and the magnitude of Christ’s sacrifice, and move outside of the daily flow of our lives. Here are nine ways to bring Lent front and center for your family this year.  [To read more click on the picture above for a link to the original article in The Federalist]
