Description
Protestants and Lent? Many Catholics and other orthodox religions look to the time of Lent as traditional activities representing the death of Christ plus His resurrection and return. Should protestants change habits for Lent? Lent is a religious season when people, worldwide, give up certain foods or habits to demonstrate self-restraint and grow closer to God. For many people lent is a serious, earnestly religious observance. The purpose of Lenten rituals is to prepare believers for a sincere celebration of Easter by initially placing the mark of Christ on their foreheads, then entering into a season of prayer, penance, mortifying the flesh, repentance of sins, almsgiving, and forms of self-denial exhibited by forgoing certain pleasures of foods, treats, or alcoholic spirits. Lent can seem mystifyingly strange to practicing Protestant Christians and non-Christians. Some consider Lent as a time when weird religious “stuff” happens while few understand or can explain the New Testament basis for Lent. Unless you are Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist, or Roman Catholic, Lent may be as much as an enigma to you as it is to the unsaved. The unschooled might consider all aspects of Lent nullified like some fanatical pagan rituals removed back in the Middle Ages?
