Lent, according to the Roman Catholic Church, exists for two reasons. Firstly to commemorate the 40 days in which Jesus spent in the desert and secondly to spiritually prepare the Catholic for Easter. It is characterized by Alms giving, fasting and prayer. By giving charitably, denying oneself some luxuries and praying regularly the Catholic tries to 'renew' their relationship with Christ in the month proceeding the mysteries of Holy Week.
