    What are we preparing for during Lent?
    Community Answer
    During Lent, we are preparing for Easter. (Remember, Easter is not when Jesus is crucified, but when he rose three days after.) Lent is the 40 days leading up to Easter.

  • Question
    Why are eggs a symbol of Easter?

    Because eggs are a symbol of fertility and rebirth. According to Christianity, Jesus rose from the dead and that's why we celebrate Easter. He was reborn.

  • Question
    Should I teach my child who Satan is?
    Community Answer
    You should teach your child who Satan is. He is important. Children should know he is not a good person. Make sure they also know that Satan doesn't want you to be happy in hell. He wants to see you suffer, unlike God. God wants you to be like him, love him, and he wants you to be happy in heaven. (You should teach the last part to them only when they are a little older.)

  • Question
    What if my child hates doing Lent?
    Community Answer
    Children don't need to love whatever you are doing. At some point, they may decide that they don't want to continue in your religion, and that is okay. For the time being, have them follow your lead, and allow them to formulate their own opinions.
