What Christian groups don't celebrate Lent?

Answer 1

Lent developed out of the fast that Christians kept before the Passover. Though originally the fast was absolute on the day or days before observing the memorial service of Christ's death as "our Passover," as time went on, some "fasted" longer periods of time but not absolutely. The time continued to grow in length until the 40 days that are observed by Catholics and related churches today. Lent developed out of the fast that Christians kept before the Passover.

Those Churches that take their doctrines from The Bible instead of from Catholicism may still fast before Passover, but they do not observe the Catholic time of Lent.

There are many Christian groups that don't observe Lent -- too numerous to list. It is usually those churches that believe that the Catholic Church does not have the authority of Jesus or God to set or overturn doctrine.
