As many of you know, Lent is 40 days of vasting. Many Christians will "give-up" something in honor of Jesus giving up his life for us. Most people give up some sort of food. Your supposed to keep your "Lent Promise" for all 40 days. You start on Ash Wednesday, and until Easter Sunday, You give up whatever it is you gave up.
6 Sunday
Lent is traditionally a period of 40 days that begins on Ash Wednesday and finishes on Easter Sunday morning when Eastertide begins. Sundays that fall within the Lenten period do not count as days of Lent and the lenten fast and personal lenten observances are not binding. The time period of Lent is determined by first determining which Sunday Easter will fall upon and then counting backwards. Easter falls upon the first Sunday after the first full moon of the spring equinox, or, the first Sunday that happens after a full moon after the first day of Spring.
We make a Lenten promise because Jesus suffered for us. So we do a little thing by giving up something and suffer a small amount like Jesus. So like Jesus suffered on the cross we suffer by giving up something.

The Lenten Season includes the 40 days prior to Easter Sunday. It begins on Ash Wednesday and is meant as a period of penance, personal renewal and reflection in preparation for the celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord.

Lent is the forty days from Ash Wednesday to Easter. The Sundays are NOT part of the forty days. Therefore, there is no fasting on Palm Sunday or any Sunday during Lent.
I've added a reference to a Lenten recipe, enjoy!
The Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday, marking a 40-day period of reflection, prayer, and fasting leading up to Easter Sunday. During this time, Christians often engage in acts of penance and self-denial, commemorating Jesus' temptation in the desert. The season includes significant observances like Palm Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and Holy Week, culminating in Good Friday, which honors the crucifixion. Finally, Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, symbolizing hope and renewal.
Oh, dude, that's easy! The Sunday after Ash Wednesday is called the First Sunday of Lent. It's like the beginning of the Lenten season, where people give up stuff like chocolate or Netflix for 40 days. So, yeah, it's a pretty big deal for those who are into that whole Lent thing.

Breaking lent on a weekday instead of Sunday does not have any specific consequences or implications. In general, breaking lent means deviating from the commitments or sacrifices made during the Lenten period. The specific rules and practices of lent can vary depending on individual beliefs and traditions, so it is advisable to seek guidance and forgiveness within your own religious community.
