Lent
,Page created
Lent is a [[holiday]] that begins on [[Ash Wednesday]] and ends on [[Maundy Thursday]], lasting exactly 40 days. Lent can begin as early as 4 February but end as late as 22 April. It commemorates the 40 days that [[Jesus Christ]] spent fasting in the desert while [[Satan]] tempted Him.
The holiday season is not as widely celebrated by [[Protestants]] as it is by [[Catholics]] but it can be celebrated by both regardless of that fact.
It is typically celebrated by a Christian forfeiting something in the name of [[God]] for the duration of Lent. For example, a Christian could forfeit candy for the duration of Lent. This is done as a form of worship.
