Lent begins on Ash Wednesday (forty days before the Easter Triduum, not counting Sundays) and is an intense preparation for Easter. During Lent, the church wears purple vestments, fasting is required on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday for those under the age of 59 and over 18, and abstinence on all Fridays and Ash Wednesday. People are urge to give up something extra for the duration and to take on extra devotions to help them grow closer to God in preparation for Easter.
