In the Bible, the term “Lent” is a process involving fasting, repentance, and preparation for Easter, a religious holiday that asserts the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Lent season is mainly rooted in Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist denominational traditions.
The term “Lent” is a via latída of “lencten” of Old English which meant springtime and was related to the German “Lenz” and Dutch “lente. “Lent consists of those 40 days, not including the Sundays, from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday which falls immediately before Easter Sunday. Lent, iconized as the 40 days Jesus fasted in the wilderness before his public ministry’s launch, refers to this period.
The Christian community is called to engage often in entire forms of orderliness, especially fasting, prayer, and offering, as a way of increasing the connection to God. The plot is the story of repentance for sins and the spiritual renewal after them. The sacrificial disciplines of Lent are intentionally designed to reflect Jesus’ journey toward the cross very much to him.
