by
Carolina Fernandez
Go ahead and splurge on chocolate and on baskets. On flowers for your home or in a new outfit or on travel. This is a time for celebration, to be sure, come Easter Day. But allow yourself in the next few days, to internalize the conflict of Holy Week. It is one time of year when your internal struggle should be palpable.

A Christian Tradition Known As The Holy Week (Hebdomada Major)
by
Albert Seal
The Holy Week, or Lenten Season, is a special event in the life of a Christian, especially Catholics. The entire week symbolizes the final days of Jesus Christ's life before he was crucified on the cross to pay for mankind's sins. In this regard, the Holy Week, for Christians, is a time for prayer and contemplation of the what we have done in our lives so far to offend God and what we can do in order to become better persons come Easter Sunday.

What is Lent?
by
Beth Guide
Lent is the period of 40 days of fasting that is preceding Easter. Often this 40 day period is paralleled with the story of Jesus being in the desert for 40 days being tempted by the devil. (Matthew 4:1-11) and this is the reading for the first Sunday of Lent to remind us of that parallel.
