Lent is a 46 day period, beginning with Ash Wednesday and ending at the end of Holy Saturday. It is thought of as a 40 day period, but that is excluding the 6 Sundays in Lent. It allows Christians the opportunity to ponder the sacrifices Jesus made for us with his suffering and death. Many sacrifice a favourite food, favourite activity, or instead of giving something up, many make this period a time of doing positive things they don't ordinarily do such as spending extra time in prayer, reading The Bible or visiting the elderly who are homebound. Many fast on Ash Wednesday and particularly on Good Friday. It is a time of reflection and prayer. Many Catholics attend Mass on Fridays during Lent to participate in the Stations of the Cross and Benediction.
