The First Mass of Lent is the Mass on Ash Wednesday, at which ashes are imposed on the foreheads of the faithful after the homily. It has no special name, and despite the fact that it isn't even a Feast or a Solemnity, it has two readings before the Gospel, like a Solemnity (in the old Calendar it carried the rank of First Class-apparently it has no ranking at all anymore, not even that of an optional memorial, rather strange).

The Gloria is not said or sung and the Alleluia is not said during Lent.
It is called Lent.
Lent is from Ash Wednesday until Good Friday. Lent is from Ash Wednesday until Good Friday. Lent is from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday. Lent ends with the beginning of Mass on Holy Thursday however, the Lenten laws concerning fasting and abstinence continue until the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday.
Technically, Lent ends on Thursday April 1 before the Mass of the Lord's Supper.
It is on Holy Thursday.
Pagans do not observe Lent. Lent is a Christian practice. Modern pagans call Lent Lent, the same as we call Passover Passover, Ramadan Ramadan and Mothers' Day Mothers' day. Most pagans practice extreme religious tolerance, just because a religious or secular holiday is not "ours" does not mean we do not recognise it.
Holy Saturday
The only "part" of the Mass omitted during Lent is the Gloria, a prayer normally used after the penitential rite near the the beginning of the Mass. This is the prayer that begins "Glory to God in the highest..." The other thing different about Mass in Lent is the suppression of the word "Alleluia". This one word is used (sometimes repeated 2 or 3 times) just prior to the proclamation of the Gospel. Hymns are sometimes used at Mass (though these are not technically part of the Mass). If a hymn contains the word "Alleluia" it is also not used during Lent.
The Gloria is not said at Mass during Advent and Lent.
