Lent is a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and reflection observed by many Christians leading up to Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and commemorates the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert. Traditionally, participants may give up certain luxuries or engage in acts of charity and devotion. While not a time off in the conventional sense, it is a season for spiritual renewal and self-discipline.
