                                                                    Lent 

Lent: 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, fasting and being tempted by Satan
(Matthew 4:1-11). Lent is considered a time of penance and
discipline.
Worship tends to be more solemn, and purple is the liturgical color of the season. 
  
ASH WEDNESDAY
In the church year calendar, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent.
  
                            HOLY WEEK   

      The worship service relives the final week of our Lord's human life.
  
Palm Sunday:
The triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem riding upon a donkey, 
as his followers shouted Hosanna and scattered palms in his path.
 
Maundy Thursday
is when Christians observe Christ's "Last Supper"
---the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion

-- and the "mandate" to serve one another in lov
Good Friday commemorates the imprisonment, trial and death
by crucifixion of Jesus
.      

Holy Saturday is the Great Vigil of Easter
when Christians gather in darkness, light new fire, and
celebrate the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies in the resurrection of Jesus.

Easter is Jesus Christ's victory over death.
His resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him

                                    +++++++++++++++++++
