LENTEN SEASON

       Have you ever wondered what people are talking about when they say they’re giving something up for Lent? Do you want to understand what Lent is and how it relates to Easter?      Lent is the 40 days (not including Sundays) from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Easter. Lent is often described as a time of preparation and an opportunity to go deeper with God. This means that it’s a time for personal reflection that prepares people’s hearts and minds for Good Friday and Easter.      Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent.

       Every year on January 25th, the Vigan City Fiesta is celebrated. It is commemorated on the feast day of St. Paul the Apostle's conversion. The patron saint of Vigan City is St. Paul. Before his conversion, St. Paul was known as Saul, a fervent persecutor of Christians. His name was changed to Paul when he was struck by a personal experience with Jesus Christ on his route to Damascus, and he braved a lot of hardships and danger to bring the message of God to far-flung locations.      The Metropolitan Cathedral, which is the heart of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, is Vigan's primary cathedral and is dedicated to St. Paul.

       On the first of January, the expression "new year, new me" is frequently used in the United Kingdom. On this day, it is highly popular to make a new year's resolution. This may be as simple as giving up something you enjoy, such as sweets or chocolate, in order to be healthy. People also prefer to try something new, such as taking up a new activity or going to the gym, in order to improve their fitness. In fact, there are a lot of options for you! As a new year's resolution, the majority of individuals I know opt to join a gym and eat better foods. Many people gain weight during the holidays because they eat a lot of fatty foods.      In my opinion, New Year's resolutions are a terrific way to motivate individuals to do something positive for themselves. It's easier to keep to your own resolution when there are a lot of other individuals who do the same thing. A group of pals might make a fitness commitment together. Sometime during the wee...
