Lent is a time of preperation. It prepares us for Easter, the rising of our Savior. In this, we deny ourselves certain things that give us pleasure, for example, the Orthodox follow a strict fast. It is a time period of 40 days leading up to Easter. It was first started when Jesus went into the desert and abstained from food for 40 days. In this time, Satan tried to tempt Christ, but He denied all temptations.
