Lent is a significant season in the Catholic Church that marks a period of reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days, excluding Sundays, symbolizing the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert. During Lent, Catholics focus on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as a way to grow closer to God and deepen their spiritual lives. It is a time for self-examination, penance, and renewal, offering an opportunity to turn away from sin and commit to living more faithfully.
