Lent & Easter Schedule
- 2015 -
LENT
Lent is the penitential season of the Church’s year, beginning on Ash
Wednesday and ending with Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. Lent
has six Sundays, the sixth of, which is called Palm Sunday of the Lord’s
Passion and marks the beginning of Holy Week.
The Easter Triduum begins with the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy
Thursday. It commemorates the Lord’s passion and death on Good Friday, and
reaches its high point at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday evening and ends
with evening Prayer on Easter.
Traditionally the Lenten season is a time of penance throughout the Universal
Church.
Lent is also a season in which prayer, the reception of the
sacraments, charity and almsgiving are emphasized. Fast and abstinence are to
be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. All the Fridays of Lent are
days of abstinence from meat.
