💜 Lent

Lent is a 40-day fast before Easter. It begins Ash Wednesday (no earlier than Febuary 3, no later than March 10) and ends at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. Counting Sundays, Lent lasts a total of 46 days.

The season commemorates the 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted in the desert before beginning his public ministry.

The last week of Lent, called Holy Week, commemorates the final days before Jesus’s death. It begins with Palm Sunday, recalling Jesus’s arrival at Jerusalem. Holy Week also includes Maudy Thursday, dedicated to the Last Supper Jesus shared with the disciples, followed by Good Friday, recalling Jesus’s crucixion by Rome, and ending at the Easter Vigil.
