What is Lent  Lent is a period of fasting, repentance, and spiritual discipline in the Christian faith, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday. It is a time of reflection, prayer, and preparation for the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.  

The start date of Lent varies each year because it is based on the liturgical calendar, which is calculated according to the date of Easter Sunday. However, it always begins 46 days before Easter Sunday, not counting Sundays.

In 2023, Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent, falls on March 1st.
