When Lent comes to a close, Christians across the world celebrate. They spend Holy Week focusing even further on preparations for Easter, and many of them fast for at least once during that final week of Lent. Then, on Easter, there is celebration. The celebration for most Christians has several layers to it. On one hand, they are celebrating the true meaning of Easter, and the single most momentous occasion in human history. They are celebrating the resurrection of Christ, the salvation of mankind and the destruction of sin. Simultaneously, many Christians celebrate their families. It is not unusual for people to travel for Easter weekend and spend the holiday with loved ones they may not see very often. Third and finally, Christians celebrate the end of Lent, and with it their Lenten sacrifice. They can once again eat chocolate, go on social media or gossip. This third layer of celebration, however, may not be a good idea. No one wants to hear that they should probably continue their Lenten sacrifice after Easter. After all, no one likes to be told they cannot have something. That does not, however, make it any less of a good idea. Here are six reasons you should keep up your Lenten sacrifice after Easter.
