What is Lent and Easter?
Lent is the period of 40 days which comes before Easter in the Lutheran calendar. Beginning with Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation when we are to open our hearts to God’s refining grace through prayer, confession, fasting, and giving as we anticipate Holy Week. Lent traditionally lasts forty days, modeled after Christ’s forty day fast in the desert, and ends on Good Friday.
As Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus after his death on the cross, Lent recalls the events leading up to and including Jesus’ crucifixion.
During the Lenten season, you will notice that we will no longer sing the Alleluia or the hymn of praise until Christ is risen on Easter Sunday morning.
We also have many additional services during the Lenten season.
