A Time to Renew

 



Lent is the period of 40 days that comes before Easter in the Christian calendar. It is the Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. During Lent, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and some Protestants prepare for Holy Week by fasting, praying, and reconciling with the Lord.

Lent is an old English word meaning 'lengthen'. Lent is observed in spring when the days begin to get longer. Purple is the symbolic color used in some churches throughout Lent, for drapes and altar frontals. Purple is used for two reasons, firstly because it is associated with mourning and so anticipates the pain and suffering of the crucifixion, and because purple is the color associated with royalty, and celebrates Christ's resurrection and sovereignty. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week.

In the past year and today’s were different for this pandemic haven’t ended yet. People were limited on every event. It is strictly not allowed gatherings. And for that people were asked to practice protocols for safety. People were limited to enter due to distances.  For all people to still participate in the mass, some were broadcasted and watched through television and social media. Despite this situation, people can still think of a way to continue such events that means so much to all of us.

Pollution, floods, erosion, global warming, climate change and many to mention are just some of the biggest problems our world is facing today. We are aware of these issues but people couldn’t stop doing the things that causes the issues. Every day we produce tons of Garbage waste and throw it anywhere recklessly.
