Lent – 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. This year, Lent is observed March 1 to April 16.

Lent – a time for repentance, a time for reflection, a time for contrition.

In this issue, ENY takes a look at Lent. We start off by asking a simple question – What is Lent? We then explore ways to observe Lent and participate in a regimen that may be meaningful for individuals as well as families.

There is no right way or wrong way to observe Lent – it’s an individual discipline or practice. So, no matter how – or if – you observe Lent, may your 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday be meaningful to you.
