What is Lent?

Lent, a season of spiritual discipline and preparation that starts annually with Ash Wednesday—which falls this year on Feb. 17—anticipates the celebration of the death and resurrection of Christ at Easter.
​
“The season of Lent has served a variety of purposes in the history of the church and the life of Christian communities, specifically a time for the reconciliation of penitent persons; and an opportunity for spiritual discipline through prayer, fasting, service, and generosity,” says the Rev. Dr. David Gambrell, associate for worship in the Presbyterian Mission Agency’s office of Theology and Worship. “The common thread—whether one is new to the church, estranged from the community, or wanting to grow in faith and faithfulness—is deeper and more authentic relationship with God and one another through Christ. Lent points to the cross, where Jesus is lifted up with arms outstretched in compassion and welcome. And Lent points beyond the cross to the empty tomb, where Jesus offers new and abundant life to all.” (www.pcusa.org)
