I have made a Lenten backpack ready for my 40 days of Lent. The Cross in my backpack represents Jesus and how he died for our sins. The holy Bible in my backpack is to help in my prayers and to share when someone is feeling down. My fasting is going to be meat on a Friday, no phone and no swearing!
