Lent is a Christian holiday that starts on Ash Wednesday. This holiday helps us prepare for Easter. Lent is a symbol of Jesus spending 40 days in the wilderness. He was tempted by Satan during this time. Satan knew that Jesus was hungry, tired, and alone, so he thought that he had an advantage over Jesus. I think that we all should celebrate Lent, so we can stay strong during Satan’s attacks. Here is how you can celebrate.
