Lent
|
Lent in 2009 began on Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2010 and will end on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010. What is Lent? Lent is the 40 day liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter. The Book of Common Prayer invites all to observe "a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy word." The Episcopal Bookstore carries a wide variety of books for lent for both adults & children. Reading books, combined with meditation and prayer, will aid you during your Lenten practices. Books about lent make a great gift.
