Lent is the 40 days of fasting and prayer before Easter. It represents the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert where he was tempted by Satan. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer-through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial-for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
