  • Lent was a Christian tradition. When the Fat One was sent for his conversion tutorial for the Order of the Headless, he asked the headless monks if they had Lent, as he wasn't good at giving things up, just before they took his head. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)
  • Lent (in Western Christianity) refers to the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter. In Eastern Christianity, this is referred to as "Great Lent," to distinguish it from the Winter Lent (known as Advent in Western Christiantiy)
  • Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts through Holy Week. Although all Christian denominations celebrate Lent, Roman Catholics take it especially seriously.

  • Lent is a holy time in Christianity. It is a 40-day period leading up to Easter. Celebrations of Lent have varied over the centuries and across different Christian sects, but it is basically a time of self-denial and avoidance of indulgent behaviors (illicit or otherwise) one engages in through the rest of the year, in favor of a return to the virtues of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
  • The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial — for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Lent was also traditionally the term used to describe the period leading up to Christmas before the term of advent was officially recognised.
  • Lent is when Christians in some Sects and denominations are supposed to give something up till Easter Sunday. Christians seek to purify and rid themselves of earthly delights so they can focus on the pleasures of Heaven to come. Of course if God and Heaven don't exist Christians are just giving up things they could have enjoyed for nothing. Giving up religion can be hard at first but later there's freedom.

  • Lent is a holy time in Christianity. It is a 40-day period leading up to Easter. Celebrations of Lent have varied over the centuries and across different Christian sects, but it is basically a time of self-denial and avoidance of indulgent behaviors (illicit or otherwise) one engages in through the rest of the year, in favor of a return to the virtues of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Though Lent is celebrated throughout Christendom every year, there are periodic disagreements among various Christian sects about when it should be observed, since Easter is marked as the Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox (the so-called Paschal Moon), and the equinox is marked differently on the Julian and Gregorian Calendars. In 1598, for example, the Paschal Moon occurred on the Vernal Equinox, which was also a Saturday; therefore, sects whose liturgical calendar is based on the Gregorian celebrated Easter on 23 March, while those whose calendar was based on the Julian, believing that the Gregorian Paschal Moon had occurred in the winter and was thus not the Paschal Moon, did not celebrate Easter till 26 April, and thus adjusted the dates for Lent accordingly. There are also sometimes disagreements as to what should begin the 40-day period, whether Sundays count as part of the 40 days, and whether Lent ends with Easter Sunday or the Triduum, a three-day period of intense prayer and fasting which precedes it.
  • Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts through Holy Week. Although all Christian denominations celebrate Lent, Roman Catholics take it especially seriously.

Lent was also traditionally the term used to describe the period leading up to Christmas before the term of advent was officially recognised. Conventionally it is described as being forty days long, though different denominations calculate the forty days differently. The forty days represent the time that, according to the Bible, Jesus spent in the wilderness before the beginning of his public ministry, where he endured temptation by Satan. This practice was virtually universal in Christendom until the Protestant Reformation. Some Protestant churches do not observe Lent, but many, such as Lutherans, Methodists, and Anglicans do.
