40 Inspirational Social Media Graphics to Use During Lent

Lent is a period of about six weeks before Easter. It is a time when church leaders encourage their people to be quiet and thoughtful, preparing themselves for Easter. The period of Lent ends at Easter, which is a time of great celebration as Christians consider how Jesus had died on the cross but then rose again from the dead.

It’s an important time for our people as they build their faith and it’s also an important time for our churches as we build anticipation for Easter. We know you are really busy at this time of year and taking time to get some social media graphics made up is the last thing on your list. However, it’s a missed opportunity if you don’t use this communications channel to help your people celebrate this important time of year.

We’ve also provided the “source files” so a designer can modify the graphics to fit your church’s needs. For instance, you might want to add your church’s logo or change the background image. Of course, you could also use Design Pickle’s flat rate, unlimited revision service to modify these designs.
