Stations of the cross 14 plaques on the church wall showing the different stages of Jesus’ journey to death.
Holy Saturday This day remembers Jesus in the tomb. The church is bare this day and no sacraments may be received.

Lent The forty day period before Easter, in which Christians are called to pray, fast and give to charity in preparation for Easter. It recalls the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness after his baptism.
Fasting People give up something or do something extra for Lent. This helps them to prepare for Easter.
Works of mercy These are intended to help those people who are in need. Lent can help Christians to share what they have with those people who are worse off than themselves.
