The Lutheran Lenten season is a period of preparation for the celebration of Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, which is 46 days before Easter Sunday. The season of Lent is observed by many Christian denominations as a time of spiritual reflection and renewal.
During the Lutheran Lenten season, believers are encouraged to engage in spiritual disciplines such as prayer, fasting, and charitable acts. The emphasis is on repentance, self-examination, and preparing one’s heart for the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday.
In some Lutheran churches, Lenten services are held on Wednesdays and Fridays, with a focus on penitence and reflection. Many Lutheran congregations also participate in the traditional practice of giving up something for Lent, as a way to cultivate self-discipline and focus on spiritual matters.
The Lenten season culminates in Holy Week, which includes Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, leading up to Easter Sunday.
