Christians worldwide observed the Lenten Season that started on Ash Wednesday, 18th February, by fasting, prayer, reflection, and good works and will end on Holy Thursday, 2nd April. This season helps us to focus on repentance and spiritual renewal.
Today is Ash Wednesday – welcoming the Christian season of Lent. The Lent (meaning “spring†in Anglo-Saxon) is a 40-day period (40 days not counting Sundays) where many Christians (if not all) observe Lent as a period of fasting, abstinence, repentance, self-denial, and spiritual discipline. It ends on the Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday.
