Lent is the 40 days before Easter in the Christian church’s year.
Lent is a time when we have to give up certain luxuries. You have to give up something for forty days.We give up something because Jesus didn't eat food for 40 days.
Jesus didn't eat food in the desert because he wanted to cleared his mind so that he can teach and heal people. The devil tried to distract him, but Jesus ignored him . Jesus never stopped because God sent angels to strengthen Jesus.
Jesus stayed for forty days to symbolise the people of Israel because stayed in the desert for forty years. People wore sack clothing and put ashes on their head to say how sorry they were for not following Jesus.
Palm Sunday is the last day of Lent. Palms are burnt and turned into ashes. Lent starts on March 5th and finish on April 17.
This is a lovely piece of writing Aiden...you obviously have a good understanding of what Lent is and you have shared what it means to you. Keep up the great work.
