One calculation has been that the season of Lent lasts from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. This calculation makes Lent last 46 days, if the 6 Sundays are included, but only 40, if they are excluded, because there is no obligation to fast on the six Sundays in Lent.
On Ash Wednesday, the Christian Church entered the season of Lent. The forty days of Lent are meant to be a time of intense introspection, penance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and fasting. For centuries, many Christians have chosen to express the sense of self-denial inherent in this season by giving up something. This Lent, I invite everyone in our church family to be shaped by the spiritual discipline of fasting. Reverend Lynn Smilie Nesbitt has developed a wonderful fasting guide for our church to follow. As you read the guide(below), you will see that each week we are invited to observe a different fast.
