Have you ever heard of a Lent Calendar? You know, similar concept to an Advent Calendar, but for the Lenten Season? Nope? We hadn’t either, but we thought one should exist. So we decided to create a large mosaic-like design filled with 40 shapes to color day-by-day. The individual shapes hold imagery inspired by daily scripture readings and prayers.
Instead of giving up ice cream or facebook (though good for you if you do), perhaps you might commit to a daily rhythm of reading, reflecting, and creating—an active spiritual practice connecting your heart to your hands, your soul to your mind, your whole self to God.
This 2-part devotional resource features a large mosaic-like design filled with 40 shapes to color day-by-day. The individual shapes hold imagery inspired by daily scripture (all the RCL Year B scriptures for Lent and Holy Week). Our Devotional Guide includes scripture, artist reflections, and embodied prayer prompts. We invite you to walk through each day of Lent reading the daily scripture, finding and coloring in the shape inspired by that text, reflecting on the artist's commentary, and offering a short prayer that engages mind, body, heart, and soul.
NEW REVISED VERSION: This file has been revised so that it no longer includes dates from 2018. All dates have been removed so that you can use this devo for any season. We encourage you to start it on Ash Wednesday and continue daily through Easter!
