Bible Question: is LENT biblical or a church doctrine? if it is biblical what scripture is it based on? if it is doctrine, what churches observe it and why |
Bible Answer: Lent is one of the Liturgical Seasons. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). "1168 Beginning with the Easter Triduum as its source of light, the new age of the Resurrection fills the whole liturgical year..." Scriptual support LK 4:19 "to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Which is from, ISA 61:2 "to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn," The liturgy of any particular period of time depends on the circumstances. That is, either leading to, or following Easter. "...celebrating this annual cycle of the mysteries of Christ,..." as the CCC puts it. So here it is. LENT, which is this period of time leading to the Risen Christ Jesus is biblical. It is based on Scripture. It is also a church doctrine. The Catholic Church, among others, observe it.
