Lent - For more than fifteen centuries, the season of Lent has encompassed forty non-Sabbath days before Easter, a very Biblical number of days during which Christians are encouraged to examine themselves and their lives before the celebration of the Resurrection!  This season is known as "Lent" and part of the process often includes a "fast" of some kind.  Whatever you give up, whether or not you stick to it is between you and God!  But this is a time to be reconciled, a time to be humble, and a time to come close to one another and to God.
