Lenten Pilgrimage

What Is the Lenten Season?

Lent is the 40 days (excluding Sundays) from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Easter and includes a 40-day fast, in imitation of Jesus Christ's fasting in the wilderness before he began his public ministry. Lent is a time of preparation and personal reflection that prepares people’s hearts and minds for Good Friday and Easter.

What Happens During Lent and Why?

The three main things people focus on during Lent are prayer, fasting (abstaining from something to reduce distractions and focus more on God) and charity.

Jesus sacrificed Himself on Good Friday and was raised from the dead on Easter Sunday to give us an opportunity to have a relationship with God for eternity.

Spending time during Lent praying, fasting and giving can make Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday and His resurrection on Easter even more meaningful.
