Count Up to Easter
Image © CTA, Inc.
The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2016. Lent is
the period before Easter (March 27th) when we prepare our hearts for the
resurrection of our Savior, Jesus. Lent reminds us of Jesus’ time of
fasting and temptation in the wilderness after his baptism. This is why
Lent is considered a time of fasting and preparation. Today Lent lasts six
and one half weeks, with exactly forty fast days between Ash Wednesday
and Easter. Sundays have never been included as fast days, since
celebration rather than fasting should characterize every Sunday—the day
Jesus rose from the dead. Consider helping your child prepare for Easter
by using the Count up to Easter Activity Card available with the Lenten
devotions in the Narthex.
