Lent is a Christian observance lasting approximately 40 days, leading up to Easter, characterized by fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. It differs from other religious periods in its focus on penance and reflection, commemorating Jesus' time in the wilderness. Unlike festive seasons, Lent is marked by a somber tone and self-discipline, encouraging believers to grow spiritually. Additionally, its practices and significance can vary across different Christian denominations.
