Lent it not only celebrated as individual humans but in the church as well.Generally during the season of lent you should notice a change of color in thr robes the priest wear during church. Most of the hymes you sing during the sermen contain the word "Alleluia". During the season of lent the priest will stop saying alleluia. After the breaking of the bread the priest only says christ our lord is sacrified for us instead of singing a song because that song contains alleluia. There are many more subtle changes that i have failed to noticebut i know they are there.
Note: Sundays do not count in the 40 days of lent

∙ 15y agoThe Catholic Church and many other Christians Churches follow the Biblical practice of Jesus Christ and the Jews in setting aside days where the entire Church fasts and prays as one in a attitude of constant renewal. By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert and in spiritual preparation for the celebration of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection. This season of penance is an intense moment of the Church's penitential practice and are particularly appropriate for spiritual exercises, penitential liturgies, pilgrimages as signs of penance, voluntary self-denial such as fasting and almsgiving, and charitable and missionary works. The Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches also observe the season of Lent. Many modern Protestant Churches consider the observation of Lent to be a choice, rather than an obligation.

The Gloria isn't sung, there is no use of the word Hallelujah, the Kyries may be sung. There are no flowers or decoration and a somber feeling is kept at all times.
