Lent – Probably the first of the seasons to develop in the early church, Lent is a season of preparation that begins forty days before Easter, not including the Sundays. It was originally a time when new converts to the faith were put through a final examination before their baptism at dawn on Easter morning. This is a very important time in the worship life of the church and begins with Ash Wednesday and includes Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. Being a time of penitence, the color is purple.
