[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 503407, member: 6897"] For my protestant friends that do not celebrate lent: Lent, in most Christian denominations, is the forty-day liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter.[1] The forty days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where, according to the Bible, he endured temptation by Satan.[2] Different churches calculate the forty days differently. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer—through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial—for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Give it a try sometimes. You'll enjoy it. But then the above definition from Wikipedia mentions Easter and that's not in the bible either. oops...... :lol: [/QUOTE]
