Alleluia means praise to God, sung with great joy. Lent is a time for penance and a reminder of our sinfulness and the hope of everlasting life. So we do not say alleluia, but we do sing praise to God. Then on Easter, a time of great joy, we sing alleluia again ( in fact, twice at the closing of Mass)

∙ 13y agoDuring Lent we don't sing or say the Alleluia because Lent is a penitential time, and the joyfulness of the Alleluia doesn't fit in
with the penitential season of Lent. During Lent we are waiting for the kingdom to come, not the kingdom having come. That is reserved for the Easter Vigil. "Alleluia" actually means "Praise Yahweh [God]". Since we are in a penitential form of mind for five weeks, we sing a more moderate version, usually "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory". Don't worry though, the Alleluia makes a triumphant return at the Easter Vigil, and it's better than ever!
