I have done a bit of research this year on Lent.
I've always wondered what the specifics of Lent and Ash Wednesday are.
So this year, I listened a bit more.
Lent is traditionally a period of abstinence when Christians fast, give up certain luxuries, and adopt a spiritual practice that leads to renewal of the soul. This tradition coincides with Easter, and the amount of time that Jesus Christ fasted (40 days and 40 nights).
When we give things, or people, up in our lives there are emotions and feelings - therefore narratives that we create in our minds.
If we feel freedom once we give up things, or people, instead of loss - we know we are done.
That is a beautiful finale.
