Lent at Trinity Church 2026

Lent is a journey we take together. It’s a church season of quiet reflection as we walk toward the miracle of Jesus’s resurrection — the ultimate expression of God’s death-defying love we celebrate at Easter.

• In 2026, Lent begins on February 18 and ends on April 4.
• Lent spans forty days: from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday, excluding Sundays.
• The name Lent comes from an Old English word meaning “spring.”
• Traditionally, Lenten observance includes fasting: pausing or stopping certain habits to pay closer attention to what’s essential, what’s true, and what’s holy.
