Lent is the 40 day period leading up to Easter, beginning with Ash Wednesday on March 6th. It is a penitential season, which means it is an opportunity to examine your life, give your struggles over to God, and invite Him to help you become a better person.
During Lent, there is a strong focus on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. All these spiritual exercises help prepare us for the celebration of passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
