Alleluia means praise to God, sung with great joy. Lent is a time for penance and a reminder of our sinfulness and the hope of everlasting life. So we do not say alleluia, but we do sing praise to God. Then on Easter, a time of great joy, we sing alleluia again ( in fact, twice at the closing of Mass)

What prayer don't we say during lent?

During Lent, the Gloria and the Alleluia are not said or sung during the Mass. This is because Lent is meant to be a solemn time where we reflect on our sinfulness and how we can better ourselves. Both the Gloria and the Alleluia are joyful prayers. The Gloria is said on Holy Thursday, and then both the Gloria and the Alleluia are reinstated in the Mass on Easter Sunday.
