The Time of Easter — Lent
To prepare to celebrate the feast of the Resurrection the Church sets aside a period of preparation. This forty-day preparation was first prescribed for baptismal candidates and became known as Lent. The observances of Lent are concrete reminders of the greater solemnity of this season, yet Lutherans emphasize the Gospel of Christ as central even to this penitential season. The Gospel on the Sundays in Lent do not speak of Christ’s Passion, rather they prefigure the great Easter victory.
