The period of the Great Lent is perhaps one of the holiest times on the church calendar. It is a time when the spirituality of the church and its congregation is lifted through fasting, prayer, communion, and almsgiving. It is also a time of great repentance and preparation for the Holy Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Great Lent beings 55 days before the Feast of the Resurrection. The first week of fasting is spent as a preparation, the next forty days commemorate the period that our Lord spent fasting in the wilderness, and the last week is the Holy week, which commemorates our Lord's passions, suffering, death on the Cross, and His glorious resurrection. The church, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has arranged the reading of the Sunday Gospels to represent the journey towards our salvation. |
