Liturgical Seasons: Lent

What is Lent?
Lent is a season of preparation leading up to Easter. For centuries, it has been observed as a special time of self examination and penitence. Lent is a time for concentration on fundamental values and priorities, and is not a time for self punishment. Throughout Lent, the worship services of the church take on a simpler tone, appropriate to this season. Banners are removed from the church. Crosses showing the risen Christ are veiled. The word Alleluia is not used in the words of the liturgy or hymns. These practices help the worshiping community to mark this season of renewal as a special time in the church year.
 The seasonal color is purple or lavender, though unbleached cloth is sometimes used as well.
