What does 40 days symbolize during lent?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Ksenya-84 [330]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

During Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days where he was tempted by Satan, but successfully resisted. Traditionally, Christians will give up something such as social media, sugar, and other temptations. This is to replicate Jesus' resistance to Satan's temptations. Lent is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities. Sundays in Lent are not counted in the forty days because each Sunday represents a "mini-Easter." This is why you will see the designation "Sunday in Lent" rather than "Sunday of Lent" in the naming of these Sundays.

How did the the crusades affect muslim society?
zmey [24]
In a immediate sense, the crusades had a terrible effect on some of the Muslim and Jewish inhabitants of the Middle East. During the first Crusade, for example, adherents of the two religions joined together to defend the cities of Antioch (1097 CE) and Jeruselem (1099) from European crusaders who laid siege to them. In both cases,the Christians sacked the Cities and massacared the Muslim and Jewish defenders alive
