There are 47 days from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday, but we traditionally only count Monday through Saturday each week, which adds up to 40 days of Lent (in commemoration of the 40 days Jesus spent fasting prior to his crucifixion). This is a time of self-examination and a time of fasting or committing to some sort of sacrifice in order to identify with Christ. This series is being re-aired from 2012, but the message is timeless.
