Lent is celebrated differently by everyone. Usually you will give up something for lent or take up some form of betterment.
The lent season means to sacrifice or to give up something that you don't really need.

It is ash Wendsday when Kathlics give up something for lent.
Lent is a time of year in the Catholic church, prior to Easter, when you are supposed to give up something you like for 40 days. Giving up Facebook for lent is probably a joke.
Because it shows that Jesus gave something for us, his life, and now we must in some way give something to him, to show that we are thankful for him dying on the cross for us. Lent is when you give something up for Catholic holiday.
Lent is the 40 days before Easter when people give something that they like up (often chocolate). It ends at Easter.
Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter sunday. To participate in Lent in the Catholic religion, you have to fast, or give up, meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday until Easter Sunday. Also, if you are not a small child, you have to give up something additional. You have to give up something that could harm you or be bad for anyone in some way. For example, you could give up TV or video games. i am giving up meat for the whole lent instead of just fridays. i am also going to stop gossiping because it could hurt others. Lent in Christianity means giving up dairy for the whole lent i think. Im not sure about Christianinity because i am not Christian, but i am positive for Catholicism.
it depends on their rite. but usually, the catholic church gives ashes at lent.
No ash Wednesday is exactly 40 days before Easter, it marks the beginning of lent and Easter marks the end of lent. lent is when you are asked to give something you love up for 40 days
