Lent, in Christian tradition, is the period of the liturgical year leading up to Easter. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial — for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This Sunday we celebrate the fifth Lenten Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, not to be confused with Palm Sunday ,marks the beginning of Passiontide, which is a name for the last two weeks of Lent, beginning on Passion Sunday and ending on Holy Saturday.
Please join us this Sunday as we continue to prepare our hearts and our souls for the celebration of Easter!
