Lent is a 46 day period, beginning with Ash Wednesday and ending at the end of Holy Saturday. It is thought of as a 40 day period, but that is excluding the 6 Sundays in Lent. It allows Christians the opportunity to ponder the sacrifices Jesus made for us with his suffering and death. Many sacrifice a favourite food, favourite activity, or instead of giving something up, many make this period a time of doing positive things they don't ordinarily do such as spending extra time in prayer, reading the Bible or visiting the elderly who are homebound. Many fast on Ash Wednesday and particularly on Good Friday. It is a time of reflection and prayer. Many Catholics attend Mass on Fridays during Lent to participate in the Stations of the Cross and Benediction.

Why do Christians not eat meat during Lent or what is the significance of meat for Christians?
This is a common misconception. Most Christians do eat meat at all times and have no special reason not to eat meat in Lent. Some Christians - notably Roman Catholics - do abstain from meat on certain occasions - Fridays (as Jesus died on a Friday) and Lent (when he fasted in the wilderness) being among them, but these are simply traditions that grew up in the Church and not 'rules'. They do so as a mark of respect and fasting during times when Jesus himself was either fasting or on the cross. During Lent most Christians see that time as a time of self-examination and preparation for the commemoration of the death of Jesus on Good Friday and a celebration of his resurrection on Easter Day. For some this involves abstaining from luxury food (eg chocolate!) and the money normally spent on this given to charity. Others see this time as a time of reflection, prayer, or of giving up more time for Christian tasks like helping the poor or disadvantaged, either pragmatically or financially. However, Biblically, unlike, say, Judaism or Islam (where the consumption of pork is banned, as an example) there are no dietary rules in Christianity either in Lent or at an other time of the year.
