Embrace the Lenten Season with St. Paul's NYC

Welcome to the St. Paul's NYC Lenten Toolbox, curated by It Is Well Living Church. As our community comes together to observe the solemn and transformative season of Lent, we invite you to explore this comprehensive collection of resources and tools designed to deepen your spiritual journey.

What is Lent?

Lent is a forty-day period of reflection, repentance, and preparation leading up to Easter. It commemorates Jesus' forty days and nights of fasting in the wilderness and prepares Christians for the celebration of Christ's resurrection. During Lent, many Christians focus on self-examination, introspection, and spiritual growth through practices like prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
