What is Lent?

Lent is a 40-day season of fasting and prayer that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday (the eve of Good Friday).

It is a period of preparation to celebrate the Jesus’s resurrection at Easter, and is characterized by devotion to prayer, scripture, fasting, and giving. It is a season to prioritize self-control and the presence of God in our daily lives.
