New season for giving thanks.
A season for recalling Christ's passion, suffering, death and resurrection. A time to observe and commemorate His passing, and to prepare for a new season.
It is no surprise that Christiana give the utmost respect to God and Church-related festivities; and Lenten Season is no exception. It is a period of a 40-day fasting (in imitation of Jesus' own fasting) that begins on Ash Wednesday, and it is when most of us reflect and prepare for the upcoming Easter. The reason why this is so important stems in repentance, moderation and self-discipline. Through fasting, we learn how to control our urges and discipline ourselves in the face of God. In a way, we become closer spiritually to Christ through Lenten Season.
Lenten will start soon — let us hope for a wonderful season again this year!

Indeed, through Lent we can strengthen our relationship with Christ and in this season we can take time to repent and discipline ourselves.
