Lenten Practices

Lenten practices are spiritual disciplines observed during the 40-day period of Lent, leading up to Easter. They often include fasting, which involves giving up certain foods or habits, prayer to deepen faith, and acts of charity to help others. These practices are intended to foster reflection, self-discipline, and renewal, helping individuals prepare their hearts for the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. While customs vary, the core purpose is to encourage a period of penitence, sacrifice, and spiritual growth.
