Lenten Journey |
The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer —through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial —for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Western Christianity, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Holy Saturday. The six Sundays in Lent are not counted among the forty days because each Sunday represents a "mini-Easter", a celebration of Jesus' victory over sin and death. |

Journey to Jerusalem – Come on a virtual pilgrimage this Lent with Christian Aid
From 25th February
Christian Aid is inviting you to take part in an online pilgrimage through the Holy Land. From Bethlehem to Nazareth to Jerusalem we will go beyond hearing about the people of the region and hear from them instead, we will not pray for them but with them.
Local Christians, Jews and Muslims will tell their stories to help us understand how the conflict touches the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians, and how hard many people are working for peace.
The interactive blog will be updated daily with short videos, podcasts, photo galleries, prayers and stories to bring the Holy Land alive over the Lenten period. Read the stories, see the sights, share with us your thoughts and prayers as we reflect on what our faith has to tell us about this troubled part of the world.
Love Life Live Lent book and booklets contain over 40 simple things to do during Lent: one action for each day. These actions help us to transform our world - locally, nationally and globally.
