Lent 2010
In the Western rite Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and ends after 3 pm on Good Friday (excluding Sundays).
Lent begins every year on Ash Wednesday. It's the 40th day before Easter Sunday (not counting Sundays, because they aren't counted as part of the "season" in Lent).
In the Eastern (Orthodox) rite, Lent starts on Clean Monday (two days before Ash Wednesday) and finishes on the Friday before Palm Sunday. Sundays are counted, and Lazarus Saturday, Palm Sunday and Holy Week are a separate fasting period.
Actually, the dates for Lent are often commonly mistaken. Technically, according to the General Norms, "Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord's Supper, exclusive" (General Norms 28). This means Lent ends at the beginning of the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday.
Lent in 2009 started on Wednesday, February 25th; it lasted 46 days, and ended on Saturday, April 11.
