Lent Information

What is Ash Wednesday? Check out these FAQs from elca.org.

Lent is an Anglo-Saxon term meaning “Spring.” As early as the mid-fourth century, Christians have observed a time of preparation before the Easter celebration. The Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days. The forty days of Lent recall the 40 day fast of Jesus in the wilderness after his baptism and Moses' 40 day fast on Mount Sinai. It is a time of simplicity and preparation.

Principal Themes of Lent:

• Penitence
• Baptismal renewal
• Preparation for baptism at Easter
• Prayer, fasting, and service
• Confession of sin rooted in the promise of God that comes through the cross of Christ
