The Christian season of Lent starts next week Wednesday on March 5. This is an important part of the Christian calendar and some would argue more important than Christmas because this marks the culmination of Jesus Christ’s mission here on earth where he suffered died and was buried for our sins, but rose on the third day to defeat death on Easter Sunday.
You can’t have Christianity and say you practice the faith if you fail to have even the most remote understanding of Lent and Easter.
This is also a time where most Caribbean countries go on a solemn mission to not do as much extra-curricular activities of the world during this time. No parties, no special function and nothing that would take away from the worship of the Church people.
May this Lenten and Easter season be one of reflection of what God had given us in his son Jesus Christ and may we have the courage to sacrifice ourselves for a greater good.
