Lent is the 40 days and nights before Easter that commemorates the time Jesus spent in desert denying himself and fighting sin. Each year Christians give up something they value usually a food substance to remember Jesus' time in the desert before his Crucifixion. For us, it is the time before Easter when we deny some things we like to make us better Christians. The Lenten fast can be exercised by any Christian who has the capacity to undertake the act of going without a beloved item or behavior. There is no particular age of requirement.
