For followers of Western Christianity, Lent always begins on Ash Wednesday. In 2010, Ash Wednesday occurred on February 17. Therefore, Lent began on February 17 of that year.

In the Orthodox church however, Lent began on February 15, 2010 of the Gregorian calendar. Orthodox Lent always begins on what is called 'Clean Monday.' This is a feast that occurs seven weeks before the Orthodox Easter Sunday.
