What is Lent?
Lent is the span of time in the church calendar that starts with Ash Wednesday (Wednesday, February 18th) and ends with Easter Sunday (Sunday, April 5th).
Ash Wednesday commemorates the beginning of Jesus’ 40-day fasting and temptation in the desert, which ends with Easter Sunday commemorating Jesus’ resurrection from the grave after his crucifixion.
For Mount Calvary Holy Church of Winston-Salem, we are asked to have a special devotional activity of reading New Testament Scriptures to learn more about the life-death-burial-resurrection of Jesus Christ. We also encourage maturity in being prayerful, faithful attendance in worship services, and search your heart to determine what habit or behavior you will practice as self-denial. This can be done on the corporate fasting day (Tuesdays) or for the full duration of the 40 days of the Lenten season.
