Lent: Miss This and You'll Miss Out!

Lent is more than just fasting, ashes, and giving something up—it’s a 40-day journey of spiritual transformation that has shaped Christians for nearly 2,000 years. In this video, we explore the deep Catholic meaning of Lent, its biblical origins, its history in the early Church, and how prayer, fasting, and almsgiving prepare us for Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you’re Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or simply curious about Christian traditions, this video explains why Lent still matters today—and how this ancient season invites us into deeper repentance, conversion, and intimacy with God. We’ll cover the spiritual purpose of fasting, why Lent lasts 40 days, the meaning of Ash Wednesday ashes, the biblical significance of the desert, and how Lent helps us detach from distractions and grow closer to Christ. You’ll also learn what Christians actually do during Lent, including fasting rules, abstinence, prayer practices like Stations of the Cross, and acts of charity rooted in Scripture like Isaiah 58. If you’ve ever wondered: • What is Lent and why do Christians observe it? • Why do Catholics fast during Lent? • What do ashes symbolize on Ash Wednesday? • Why is Lent 40 days long? • What does the Bible say about fasting and repentance?
