DESCRIPTION:Lent is the 40 days (not including Sundays) from Ash Wednesday
  to Easter Saturday. It is time to prepare ourselves for Easter\, but that
  requires of us to go deeper into God\, and relive the passion and death o
 f Christ in Holy Week. \n\nThe great thing about Lent is that it has a sta
 rt\, a middle and an end. In other words\, if you want to try out a new de
 votion\, discipline or act of personal generosity\, you can have a go in L
 ent\, and if it doesn´t work out there is no shame in walking away at the
  end. So why not give it a go?\n\nThe things that people do in Lent tend t
 o fall into one of four categories:\n\n🙏Prayer – it is good to spend 
 some quality time with our God in Lent. For some of us\, that might mean s
 etting some time aside each day for prayer or meditation\, for others perh
 aps to go for a regular walk and contemplate God´s creation\, for others 
 maybe joining a prayer group\, or taking on a new discipline about going t
 o church? But try it. And try to find how God`s mercy and love can flow th
 rough you into his world. \n\n📚Study - Many Christians use Lent as an o
 pportunity to engage in more intensive personal development related to the
 ir faith\, perhaps reading a book of the Bible all through\, perhaps joini
 ng a group to study a theological or devotional book\, maybe following a c
 ourse of study on the web\, or reading a book quietly by oneself. It is a 
 chance to deepen who we are and better understand the religious beliefs an
 d practices that we sometimes take for granted.\n\n🥣Fasting - or giving
  something up\, is a very common practice during Lent. The idea is that gi
 ving up a regular part of life\, such as chocolate\, meat\, or alcohol\, c
 an be a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice and take away something that we may
  use to distract ourselves from the needs of others. Some people go a bit 
 further and give up other activities during Lent to reorient their faith\,
  like watching television\, going to the gym\, or social media.\n\n💰Giv
 ing or Charity - Giving money or doing something good for others is a very
  good way to respond to God’s grace\, generosity and love. Some people\,
  for example\, will spend time in Lent volunteering in a particular social
  project\, or doing something practical in their church. Others might dona
 te money – perhaps something like the couple of euros they spend each da
 y to buy their morning coffee.\n\nBut try it. Lent is great for those who 
 want to give it a go and see if it works!\n\nSee our full programme for Le
