The Christian season of Lent is a religious observance that begins 40 days (the days Jesus fasted in the desert and resisted temptation by the devil) on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Maundy Thursday.
The purpose of Lent is to prepare for the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abram and the new covenant created with mankind through Jesus Christ. It is a season observed by all Christians, though more stringently in the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. Traditionally there is prayer, penance, and atonement leading up to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is customary to fast during Lent. Fasting can be food or giving up something else of pleasure, such as drinking or smoking, and other temptations like sweets or meat.
