Is Lent Christian ?

Absolutely. (And I passed three Baptist churches this past Sunday that were observing it).

Is it scriptural?

Scriptural? To the extent Easter is. It remembers a Scriptural event but is not commanded in Scripture.

Is Easter scriptural ?

Or was it created in 325 AD by Constantine at the council he called in Nicea?

Should it not be Passover we celebrate ?

Now that is scriptural and it is when Y'shua chose to sacrifice the Lamb for us.

and rise again on the feast of First Fruits as an offering to haShem.

More Lenten Ideas:

* Choose one night of the week to “fast” from watching TV—spend that time saying a special prayer, helping a family member or reading a verse from the Bible.

* Choose a snack food that you usually purchase that you could give-up during Lent—set aside the money you would have spent to donate to a special charity.

* Think about a habit you have that you would like to change, like using curse words, yelling at others or putting people down—choose to try to avoid that habit and do something positive instead.

* Think about people you are angry with, who have hurt or offended you. “Fast” from your anger and resentment by making a list of these people and trying to pray for one person each day, thinking about one thing that is good about them.

* “Fast” from feeling guilty and angry at yourself for things you have done wrong—instead “feast” on God’s love by participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
