Throughout Church History, Lent is a significant season in the year—a period of 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday. It is a time of preparation as Christians all over the world devote themselves to prayer, fasting, meditation, and self-reflection to draw near to God. During this time, we remember the love of God that is poured out through Christ Jesus on the cross, and the gift of eternal life brought to us through Jesus' defeat of death, sin, and Satan, through his own death and resurrection.
