We fast and give up something to mirror Christ’s sacrifice as he walked alone in the desert and fasted for 40 days. Also during Lent we work more at daily prayer with God, and giving to others. <br /><br />Then we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, Easter Sunday. <br /><br />Yes Michele, you will get your Easter basket as you do every year. I am thankful you still follow some of the beliefs you were brought up with.<br /><br />Yes there is a higher being, there has to be just look around us and see the marvels of the world.bellafarfallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459365164884252547noreply@blogger.com
