Lent, we all know, is a time to get ready for Easter. But why does it start with getting ashes on our foreheads? Why can't we eat meat on Fridays during Lent? Should I give up candy in Lent? Knowing what we Catholics do in Lent is important, but it is even more important to know why we do it. Learn about Lent in this booklet, and when you finish each page, mark it with a sticker that shows you understand the what and why of Lent.
