Lent is a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Thursday. It is a time for Christians to reflect on the suffering of Jesus Christ on the cross and to prepare for his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
In 2025, Lent will begin on Wednesday, February 12th and end on Thursday, March 26th. This period of time is significant for Christians as it is a time to focus on their relationship with God and to grow closer to him. Many Christians choose to give up something during Lent, such as a favorite food or activity, as a way to sacrifice and grow in their faith.
