We are halfway through with Lent and Holy Week will soon be upon us. The 44 days of fasting, penance and almsgiving we do annually to remind us of the Jesus’ time in the desert.
Apart from the usual charities, it gives us, almost naturally, an opportunity to talk about our faith, and even the creative ways we sometimes express it, as well as the common points we have with our brothers and sisters belonging to other denominations and religions. Other mainstream Churches too, such as Anglicans and Methodists observe Lent, too. Eastern churches, like the Eastern Orthodox, observe Lent for about one week more, complete with a Pre-Lent season.
The traditions, liturgy and prayers in the Orthodox churches for both Lent and Pascha are elaborate and beautiful Thus, points like Lent opens up conversation as our brothers and sisters in Christ in these churches discover why Catholics do the things they do – changing some preconceived notions they may have about our faith, and opening up their mind on other aspects of it as well.
