Lent is a 40-day Christian season of prayer, fasting, and self-reflection. It begins on Ash Wednesday and leads up to Easter Sunday. The period mirrors the 40 days Jesus spent fasting and resisting temptation in the wilderness. Christians use this time to turn away from bad habits and draw closer to God.
