National Holiday

A national holiday that I am picking that is celebrated in the United States and many more places is Lent. Lent starts on ash Wednesday which falls on February 14.  The reason for lent is so that we can experience what our lord Jesus Christ had did to himself in a dessert for 40 days so that he could prepare himself for his crucifixion for example he did not eat any food or had drank any water for 40 days and he meditated. We celebrate Lent because it’s the 40 day’s Jesus had prepared himself to be crucified on the cross. We can celebrate Lent by going to church, fasting, and giving something up for 44 days that will benefit you in some type of way. This is specifically affiliated with Hispanics, Christians, and roman Catholics or anyone that would like to experience this event. I celebrate this holiday because my mom usually forces me to do this . I think this holiday should be celebrated because you are allowed to experience what God did to himself and to do in the dessert for 40 days before his death. but you should experience this if  you want to make the decision not because someone tells you to or forces you to do it or if you would just like to experience what God did before his death then this something good to experience.
