Lent

Lent is a season in the Christian Church which focuses on repentance, peneitance, devotion and renewal. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter. This is a total of 40 days, excluding Sundays.

Lent is commemoration of the temptation of Jesus Christ and also the Last Supper, His betrayal, arrest, crucifixion and death. Three days later, however, He was raised from the dead. This festival is called Easter.

It is a tradition in the Western churches to "give up" a pleasure or comfort during Lent.

Lent is the time for Christians to fight especially hard in their spiritual warfare against evil and worldly lusts, and to focus on the righteousness and new life we have through Christ.

Lent

The time of the year 40 days before Easter that remembers both the 40 days of Jesus's temptation in the desert by Satan and the 40 years the Jews wandered the desert with Moses. Is also the time of year when your parents force you to church more and they make you give stuff up.

Lent

Noun. The forty days of prayer, repentance, almsgiving, and self-denial that prepares Christians for Holy Week and imitates Jesus’ own period of fasting, meditation, and temptation in the wilderness. Today it is popular among the pseudoreligious, who abstain from nominal vices such as swearing and eating chocolate. For these vacuous individuals, Lent is a compromise to the taxing, 365-day commitment New Year’s resolutions demand.
