Lent begins with Ash Wednesday--on February 11 in 2013. In the Catholic church, Ash Wednesday kicks off this most holy, penitential season. Some folks, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, think its about giving up meat or sweets. It's about giving up bad habits to be sure, but there's more. During Lent, we fast, pray and give alms to the needy, to prepare our hearts for Easter Sunday. Whether you're Catholic or not, there's a lot to be learned from these disciplines, especially for children. Here are tips to teach children about healthy Lenten fasting.
