Lent ends the Saturday before Easter. It lasts 40 days from Ash Wednesday, however you do not count Sundays. Sundays are not a fasting days, but days of celebration because of Christ's resurrection. So the total Lenten season is 46 days with 40 of those being days of fasting.

∙ 12y agoLent begins every year on Ash Wednesday. It's the 40th day before Easter Sunday (not counting Sundays because they aren't counted as part of the "season" in lent). There are actually about 46 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter, but who's counting? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent
