2025 Lent & Holy Week Schedule
Lent is the traditional season of the Christian church leading up to the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus. The forty days of Lent start with Ash Wednesday and end on the Saturday before Jesus’ resurrection (not counting the Sundays in Lent). Lent is a time for introspection, wondering exploration of our faith and understanding the way of Jesus more clearly.
