Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be observing starting on Wednesday? Wednesday begins the Christian observance of Lent. Lent begins 40 days before Easter on Ash Wednesday. You may see some people wearing ashes on their foreheads to be reminded that we are only on this earth temporarily and that it is our spirit/soul that hopes for eternal life. Lent today is meant to prepare your spirit for Easter by making sacrifices (usually giving up something you enjoy eating or doing), asking forgiveness, and prayer. People who observe Lent often do not eat meat on Fridays during these 40 days. There are students and staff at WMS who will be observing this holiday. We wish all people at WMS observing this holiday a peaceful Lenten season.
Have a good day everyone!
