Written by Hi everyone! It’s DancerGirl887, and today I am explaining Lent.
Lent is the 40 days before Easter, which is the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and during Lent, we:
1. Fast
2. Give alms (alms are charity like money to the poor and clothes, shelter and food to the needy)
3. Pray
Lent is a sad time because Jesus is being condemned to death, and all who followed him turned away and mocked him with the crowd. Only a few still followed him during this hard time.
During Lent, we fast. Not just from food and meat of Fridays, but also things in life that keep us from God.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing you give up; it can be anything you use and want to sacrifice for 40 days until Easter.
But guess what?! You don’t need to give something up, you can add something instead! Something like a daily prayer, or a time to read the Bible, or even time where you can find things to donate to charities.
There is a step-by-step drawing tutorial that goes with our Lenten journey. It is called Drawing Closer To God.
I will include the first and second videos in this post so you can follow along and grow in your faith.
This is the Ash Wednesday episode.
This is the Temptation in the Desert episode:
Drawing Closer To God Season 2 Episode 2
Enjoy! Even if you aren’t Catholic, watch these videos and learn about Lent! If you want, give up something or add something just like me!
Have a good day, and God bless you!
