Lent, the forty days before Easter, mainly commemorates Jesus' last days on Earth, his passion, and his crucifixion. The last week of Lent is especially meaningful. Starting with Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, on which Jesus made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a colt, the week celebrates Jesus' final moments. Ash Wednesday was the day the day of the Passover Feast with Jesus and his disciples, and Good Friday was the day Jesus died, taking away all our sins. Finally, he rose again on Easter, conquering death and guaranteeing all of us eternal life with him.

Because it shows that Jesus gave something for us, his life, and now we must in some way give something to him, to show that we are thankful for him dying on the cross for us. Lent is when you give something up for Catholic holiday.
Why does lent last 46 days and not 40?
Lent starts 40 days before Easter becaue Jesus walked in the desert for forty days and forty nights without food or water before his public life as preparation for His ministry. In preparation for Easter we think it proper to imitate Christ by preparing ourselves in this period of approximately forty days of penitence for the most important part of the year, the celebration of the passion, death and Resurrection of our Lord. This is the central part of the Liturgical year, indeed, it is the central part of a Christian's life!
