Lent Season.

Lent – a time of fasting and prayer begins for Christians. (the season of spiritual preparation for Easter)

ASH WEDNESDAY: 9/3/2011

*Lord, I'm sorry I didn't go to Mass on that day.. I'd forgotten about it. Please forgive me.* -really really sorry- t.t

OK.. A brief explanation of what it is...

Ash Wednesday marks the first day of the season of the Lent.  It is a season of penance, reflection, and abstinence which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday! 

During this period, some become vegetarian while others sacrifice a favourite activity or habit.

The most common abstinence is the avoidance of meat.

On Ash Wednesday and ALL of the Fridays of Lent, Catholics are required to abstain from meat and from foods made with meat. 

But, in Europe and Asia, they have been coping with Friday abstinence throughout the whole year.

Emm.. if we don't abstain from meat on non-Lenten Fridays, we're required to substitute with some other form of penance.. 

Ex: if you want to eat meat on Friday, you can replace a 'no meat day' on other days...

Oh ya, fish meat is ok to eat. ^-^

HOLY THURSDAY: (21/4/11) the day before Good Friday. The last feast of Jesus and his disciple.

GOOD FRIDAY: (22/4/11) one of the most sacred day in Christian calender, the day Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross. It's a definitely NO meat meals. It is also a day of strict fasting (one meal full and small snacks that don't add up to a full meal)

HOLY SATURDAY: (23/4/11) the day after Good Friday, the day before Easter. It is the final day of Triduum, the 3 days during which we commemorate Christ's Passion.

EASTER SUNDAY:  (24/4/11) the greatest feast day in Christian calender. We celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I Love this day!!! ^________^

That's all! ♥♥♥
