40 Days of LentLent starts on Ash Wednesday, lasts 40 days not counting Sundays and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.There are 46 days because Sundays are not included during Lent. Some say that Sundays aren't counted in the 40 days of Lent, because every Sunday carries with it a part of the glow of Easter Sunday. So it's not all gloom and doom. But even on the Sundays, the theme of repentance (turning from our ungodly ways) holds true. When you repent, you please God whether you fast or not, and that is what most counts for Lent. Others say that Sundays are not included because Lent is a serious time but Sundays are always a day of celebration in the Christian Church.

Yes. There are 40 days in Lent. However if you count the number of days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday (the day before Easter) you may find there are more than 40 days depending on the year. Every Sunday is a celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but we do not break our fast at anytime. These Sundays are still part of Lent. Those that do not abstain from meat for the full period only abstain from meat on Fridays, You must give something else up in addition to the meat for the period of Lent. Something which is difficult for you and which would be a sacrifice. In addition you are to abstain in general, give alms (services, money, etc.), and pray everyday.
